Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 59514335, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-ethyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.04 g) in THF (30 ml) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with diisobutyl aluminium hydride solution (11.4 ml; 1.2 M in toluene). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hrs at r.t., then again cooled to 0° C. and treated with H2O (50 ml) and 0.1N HCl (50 ml). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; gradient cyclohexane→cyclohexane/EtOAc 4:1) to give (8-ethyl-naphthalen-1-yl)-methanol (769 mg) as white solid. MS (ISP): 187.3 ((M+H)+.).
