Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of aluminium chloride (120 g) and sodium chloride (52.6 g) at 160° was added, over 10 minutes, the product of step (a) (60 g). The mixture was then heated at 180° for 30 minutes, cooled and poured onto ice. The precipitate was extracted into ether and the extract was filtered and evaporated. The residue was twice crystallised from petroleum ether (40°-60°) to give 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-3-propionylnaphthalene, (14.5 g) as a pale brown solid, m.p 57°-58°.
