Procedure

Benzyl bromide (1.32 ml, 11.1 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of diethyl 1-(ethyloxy)-4-hydroxy-2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylate (2.45 g, 7.38 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.53 g, 11.1 mmol) in acetone (50 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour under an atmosphere of argon. The resulting mixture was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between 2× ethylacetate and brine. The combined organics were washed with water and dried over magnesium sulphate. The clear oil was purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate (0-40%) in hexane to give the title compound as clear oil (3.05 g, 7.23 mmol). LC/MS: Rt=3.77, [MH]+ 423.
