Procedure

7-Nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (200 mg, 1.05 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (5 mL) and NaBH4 ((78 mg, 2.05 mmol) was added in portions. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 min and then concentrated and purified by column chromatography (10-50% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to yield 7-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-ol (163 mg, 80%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3CN) δ 8.30 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 8.02 (dd, J=8.5, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.76 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 2.96-2.80 (m, 2H), 2.10-1.99 (m, 2H), 1.86-1.77 (m, 2H); HPLC ret. time 2.32 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run.
