Procedure

A mixture of crude 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6,8-dimethoxy-1-oxo-2-naphthaldehyde ethylene acetal obtained from 5.73 g. of 2-hydroxymethylene-6,8-dimethoxy-1-tetralone, and 0.91 g. of sodium borohydride in 25 ml. of 2-propanol was stirred two hours at room temperature. The mixture was cooled and treated with 80 ml. of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with ether. The ethereal extracts were washed with saturated aqueous solutions of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-hydroxy-6,8-dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde ethylene acetal which was converted directly to 3,4-dihydro-6,8-dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde as described hereinabove in Example 154.
