HCID 1664451-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-4,4-dimethyl-1-naphthalenyl)-1-propanoneYield 55%

Procedure

61.8 g of 1,1-dimethyl-4-cyano-tetralin in 100 ml of absolute ether are added dropwise while stirring to a Grignard solution prepared from 600 ml of ether, 34.7 g of magnesium shavings and 166 of ethyl bromide. The mixture is held at reflux temperature for 6 hours, cooled and acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase is separated as rapidly as possible and held at reflux temperature for 1 hour. It is cooled, extracted with ether, washed neutral with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. Distillation in vacuo gives 39.4 g of 1,1-dimethyl-4-propionyl-tetralin of boiling point 75° C./0.05 mmHg; nD20 =1.5263; yield 55%. Odour: rose note, tobacco-like (light), dried fruits, berries, damascone, honey.
