Reaction Steps

A mixture of diethyl 3-aminophthalate and dimethyl 3-aminophthalate (1.0 g, 3.82 mmol), 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-2(1H)-one (0.61 g, 4.2 mmol), and aluminum trichloride (0.51 g, 3.82 mmol) was placed in a sealed tube and heated to 80° C. for 1 hour and then 130° C. for additional 4 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, treated with methanol and concentrated. The remaining residue was chromatographed on silica gel using eluant of 3.2% methanol in dichloromethane and then purified by recrystalization in ethyl acetate and methanol to give the product (0.36 g, 30%) as a light brown solid. MS (ESI) m/e [M+1]+292.
