Reaction Steps

The 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid obtained in the above is caused to react with benzyl bromide in the presence of potassium hydroxide, to obtain 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-benzyloxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid. The compound thus obtained is heated under reflux in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-benzyloxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester.
