Participants

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, 0.8 g of 2-cyano-5,6,7,8-tetramethylnaphthalene was dissolved in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and 5.7 ml of a 1.0M solution of diisobutylaluminum hydride in hexane was added to the resulting solution at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours, quenched with methanol and a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride successively, and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml×2). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was concentrated and the resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 0.68 g of the title compound as an oil.
