Procedure

Acetic anhydride (100 ml, 1.06 mole) was added rapidly to neat 1-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene (25 g, 0.17 mole) (Aldrich) with stirring. The mixture quickly solidified and was allowed to stand overnight. The broken mass was suspended in hexane (200 ml), filtered, then resuspended in methylene chloride (150 ml). After stirring 10 minutes, the suspension was diluted with an equal volume of hexane, filtered, and the solid dried at 95° C. under reduced pressure to give N-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)acetamide (23 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz) δ: 1.68-1.90 (m, 4H, CH2's), 2.20 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.52-2.68 (m, 2H, ArCH2), 2.70-2.84 (m, 2H, ArCH2), 3.94 (br s, 1H, NH), 6.92 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H, Ar), 7.10 (t, J=8 Hz, 1H, Ar), 7.53 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H, Ar). Anal. Calculated for C12H15NO: C, 76.16; H, 7.99; N, 7.40. Found: C, 76.13; H, 8.04; N, 7.40.
