Procedure

To a stirred solution of 4,4-dimethyl-7-bromo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)one (Compound G, 1.48 g, 5.9 mmol), titanium tetrachloride (1.09 g, 5.7 mmol) and THF (10 mL) was added a mixture of thiophenol (660 mg, 6 mmol), triethylamine (1.16 g, 11.5 mmol) and THF (20 mL) via an addition funnel at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 5 h, and water (10 mL) was added, extracted with ether (3×50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed successively with water (10 mL), 10% NaHCO3 (10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent distilled off at reduced pressure. After silica gel chromatography the title compound was obtained as a colorless oil .
