Procedure

A mixture of 1-bromo-3-(2-methylbenzoyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol (3.33 g), sodium acetate (0.82 g), 5% palladium-on-carbon (50% hydrate, 1.0 g) and methanol (10 ml) was subjected to catalytic reduction. After the theoretical amount of hydrogen had been absorbed, the catalyst was filtered off. The solvent was then distilled off and the residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was distilled off to give 3-(2-methylbenzoyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol as an oil (2.45 g, 96.5%).
