Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.9 g of 5-bromo-1-methoxymethoxy naphthalene was dissolved in 100 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and cooled to -60° C. 21.3 ml of a hexane solution containing 1.6M of n-butyl lithium was gradually added to the solution. After stirring at -40° C.--60° C. for one hour, the reaction solution was cooled to -65° C. and 4.2 ml of ethyl iodide was slowly dropped. After the dropping, the temperature was warmed upto the room temperature, water was added and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. After washing the extract with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride and drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off. When the residue was purified on silica gel column chromatography (7% ethyl acetate/hexane), 5.5 g of the above-captioned compound was obtained as a pale yellow oily product.
