Procedure

73.5 g (0.55 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride were added a little at a time, at 0°-5° C., to a solution of 70 g (0.55 mole) of 3-chloropropionyl chloride in 200 ml of methylene chloride, after which a solution of 94 g (0.5 mole) of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethylnaphthalene in 200 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise at the same temperature. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, poured onto 1 1 of ice/water and extracted with 3 times 300 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated down. 138 g of 6-(3-chloropropionyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethylnaphthalene remained as an oil. The structure was determined by H-NMR spectroscopy.
