Reaction Steps

4(3-methoxyphenyl)butyric acid ethyl ester is iodinated with iodine and silver trifluoroacetate in methylene chloride to give 4(6-iodo-3-methoxyphenyl)butyric acid ethyl ester. This compound is heated at 80° C. with methylthiolithium in dimethylformamide in the presence of CuO. The resulting product is hydrolyzed with NaOH to give 4(6-methylthio-3-methoxyphenyl)butyric acid, which is cyclyzed with polyphosphoric acid to obtain 5-methylthio-8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenone.
