Reaction Steps

In a 50-mL one neck round bottom flask, 2-naphthalenethiol, Catalog No. 270849 from Aldrich Co. (1.50 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (3.36 g). In the same flask, 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid, Catalog No. 147230 from Aldrich Co. (1.32 g), and 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile), Catalog No. 441090 from Aldrich Co. (0.014 g), were added. The flask was heated while stirring in a 65° C. oil bath for 24 hours. The product, 6-(2-naphthylthio)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (2.82 g) was isolated by removing tetrahydrofuran by rotary evaporation.
