Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of EtOAc (16.1 ml, 164.48 mmol) in THF (250 ml) is slowly added under an atmosphere of argon at −78° C. to a solution of lithium diisopropylamine (prepared from 23.3 ml of diisopropylamine (164.48 mmol) and 102.8 ml of 1.6 M n-BuLi in hexane (164.48 mmol) in THF (250 ml). After stirring at −78° C. for 30 minutes, a solution of 2-chloro-7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (31.5 g, 149.53 mmol) in THF (250 ml) is slowly added during 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. TLC analysis indicates complete conversion of starting material. A sat. aqueous solution of NH4Cl (250 ml) is carefully added to the reaction mixture at −78° C. The mixture is warmed to RT. The organic layer is separated, diluted with EtOAc and washed with brine. After drying over Na2SO4, the solvent is removed. Purification by FCC (hexane/EtOAc 4:1) yields the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 1.27 (t, J=9.4 Hz, 3H), 2.32-2.48 (m, 2H), 2.78-2.88 (m, 1H), 2.86-3.02 (m, 2H), 3.05-3.14 (m, 1H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 4.18 (q, J=9.4 Hz, 2H), 5.02-5.08 (m, 1H), 6.81-6.84 (m, 1H), 7.03 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 1H), 7.18-7.19 (m, 1H). ES+−MS: 281.3, 283.3 [M+H—H2O]+.
