Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (Step c, 6.3 g, 21.4 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at −78° C., DIBAL (1M in THF, 25.7 mL, 25.7 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 min, warmed to RT and stirred for 2 h. The reaction was poured into 1N HCl and extracted with EtOAc 3×. The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude was purified by silica gel column chromatography with (5-20% EtOAc/hexane) to give the titled compound as a white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 236.0 (M+1).
