Procedure

3,4-Dihydro-6,7-dimethoxynaphthalen-1(2H)-one (25.0 mmol), titanium(IV) isopropoxide (50.0 mmol) and 2 M solution of ammonia in ethanol (120 mmol) were stirred at room temperature for 6 h. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and sodium borohydride was added portionwise during 10 min. (40.0 mmol); the resultant mixture was stirred at rt for an additional 3 h. The reaction was quenched by pouring it into ammonium hydroxide (2 M, 130 mL), the precipitate that formed was filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate (25 mL×3). The organic layer was separated and the remaining aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (25 mL×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with 1 M HCl (50 mL). The acidic aqueous extracts were washed with ethyl acetate (100 mL), then treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide (2 M) to pH 10-12, and extracted with ethyl acetate (75 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (75 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to afford the desired product (24% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.31 (d, 1H), 6.74 (dd, 1H), 6.60 (d, 1H), 3.94 (m, 1H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 2.75 (m, 2H), 2.01 (m, 2H), 1.72 (m, 2H).
