Procedure

In a 500 mL round bottom flask, 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (10 g, 61.0 mmol), 1-bromo-3-chloro-propane (9.6 g, 61.0 mmol), and potassium carbonate (9.3 g, 67.1 mmol) in acetonitrile (300 mL) was heated to reflux 14 h. The reaction was cooled and the solvent concentrated under vacuum. The slurry was partitioned between methylene chloride and water, separated, dried over MgSO4. Purification with silica gel chromatography eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (3:1) produced 10.6 g (73%). Mp 85-87° C. MS m/z 239 (M+H).
