When R2 in the compounds of Formula I is methyl, the methyl-substituted 8-bromo-2-tetralone can be prepared from the corresponding unsubstituted 8-bromo-2-tetralone. The 8-bromo-2-tetralone first is treated with pyrrolidine to produce the corresponding 1,2-dihydro- 3-pyrrolidinyl-naphthalene. The latter, upon treatment with methyl iodide and acid hydrolysis, gives the desired 8-bromo-1-methyl-2-tetralone.
