Procedure

A solution of 3-amino-2-naphthoic acid (85%, 1.17 g, 5.34 mmol) in dry THF (20 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min to a stirred solution of LiAlH4 (95%, 0.53 g, 13.4 mmol) in dry THF (20 mL) at 0° C. under N2. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (20 mL) was added and the mixture was adjusted to basic pH with 1N NaOH (20 mL). The mixture was filtered and extracted with Et2O (4×100 mL). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford (3-amino-2-naphthyl)methanol (0.88 g, 95%). LCMS calc.=174.1; found=174.2 (M+1)+. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.66 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H); 7.61 (s, 1H); 7.55 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H); 7.30-7.27 (m, 1H); 7.18-7.14 (m, 1H); 7.08 (s, 1H); 4.74 (s, 2H).
