Reaction Steps

2-bromo-6-(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy)naphthalene (2.249 g, 6.25 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was dissolved in THF (10 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. Then the mixture was cooled down to −78° C. and a solution of n-BuLi in THF (2.5 M, 7.5 mL, 18.8 mmol, 3.0 eq.) was added to the mixture dropwise. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 15 min. Then DMF (2.4 mL, 31.2 mmol, 5.0 eq.) was added to the mixture and stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. When the reaction completed, 1 M HCl was added to adjust the pH to 6. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography using petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10/1) as eluent to give 6-(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyloxy)-2-naphthaldehyde as a white solid (1.16 g, 60%).
