p-Toluenesulfonic acid → 2-Tetralone-6-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Tetralone-6-carboxamide ethylene ketal (250 mg, 1.07 mmol) and catalytic p-toluenesulfonic acid were stirred in acetone (50 mL) at ambient temperature for 48 hours. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue triturated in ethyl acetate. The solids were filtered, washed and dried to yield 77.5 mg (38%) of 2-tetralone-6-carboxamide as a white powder, pure by NMR, TLC. MS.
