1-Propanol → Propyl 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate

Temperature

120 °C

2-Hydroxy-naphthalene-3-carboxylic acid (2 g) was dissolved in 1-propanol (10 ml) to prepare a solution. The solution was brought to 0° C., and thionyl chloride (1.16 ml) was gradually added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 2 hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and the solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure. Water was then added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with saturated brine and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using chloroform to give propyl 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate (2.15 g, yield 88%).
