Procedure

Employing the same general procedure as for the preparation of ethyl 4-[(7,8-dihydro-8,8-dimethyl-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)naphth-3-yl)ethynyl]benzoate (Compound 71), 300 mg (0.63 mmol) of ethyl 4-[(5-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-7,8-dihydro-8,8-dimethylnaphth-2-yl)ethynyl]benzoate (Compound 87) was converted into the title compound (colorless oil) using 84 mg (0.94 mmol) of cuprous cyanide, 40 mg (0.94 mmol) of lithium chloride and 120 mg (1.1 ml, 1.88 mmol) of tert-butyllithium (1.7M solution in pentane).
