Procedure

Methyl 5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-2-carboxylate (1.1 g, 5 mmol; described in: Johnson, D. W.; Mander, L. N. Aust. J. Chem. 1974, 8, 1277-1286) dissolved in acetic anhydride (20 mL), was treated with 70% nitric acid (0.4 mL) at 0° C. for 1 h and the mixture was poured into ice-water and diethyl ether. The organic phase was separated, evaporated in vacuo and the residue triturated with diisopropyl ether to yield 0.27 g (20%) of the title compound as crystals: mp 100-104° C.; EIMS (70 eV) m/z (relative intensity) 265 (35, M+).
