Scheme 12 outlines the preparation of tetralins having an acetic acid residue at C2 and an amide linked benzamidine at C6. In the first step, tetralone 81 is reduced with NaBH4 and the resultant unstable alcohol is dehydrated with TsOH in benzene giving dihydronapthalene 82. Osymylation of 82 affords diol 83 which is then subjected to the action of TsOH in refluxing benzene. The unstable 2-tetralone thus formed is not isolated but rather allowed to react with the sodium salt of tert-butyl diethylphosphonoacetate giving unsaturated ester 84 as a mixture of olefin isomers. This material is subjected to hydrogenation over palladium which effects saturation of the olefin and removal of the CBz group providing aniline 85. Acylation of 85 with 4-cyanobenzoic acid is accomplished with the aid of EDCI and the resulting amide 86 is transformed into the Boc protected amidine 87 using conditions previously described in Scheme 1. Removal of the Boc moiety and cleavage of the tert-butyl ester is accomplished with TFA giving 88. ##STR67##
