Procedure

A solution of 2.46 g. (0.015 mole) of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthalenediol and 810 mg. (0.015 mole) of sodium methoxide in 30 ml. of methanol is prepared under nitrogen and the solvent removed in vacuo. The resulting foam is stirred overnight with 20 ml. of dimethylsulfoxide and 1.40 g. (0.015 mole) of epichlorohydrin, poured into 200 ml. of water and extracted with four 125 ml. portions of ether. Drying and solvent removal gives 3.06 g. of oil which is purified by chromatography on silica gel (75 g.). Elution with hexane-chloroform mixtures gives a total of 1.56 g. (49%) of material with one spot on TLC.
