Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-cyano-1,2-epoxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (3.5 g) in ethanol (50 ml) and ammonium hydroxide solution (100 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 10 days. Ethyl acetate (50 ml) was added and the mixture extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid. The acidic extracts were made basic with sodium hydroxide solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were washed with water, then brine, and dried over sodium sulphate.
