To a stirred solution of 6-chloro-2-tetralone (1.0 equiv., 100.0 mmol., 18.06 g) in toluene (300 ml) was added (S)-(-)-α-methylbenzylamine (1.0 equiv., 100.0 mmol., 12.9 ml). The mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hrs with the azeotropic removal of water (Dean-Stark). The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the enamine, (S)-6-chloro-2-(α-methylbenzyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene, as a purple oil. The oil was taken up in chloroform (150 ml) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added (150 ml). The vigorously stirred mixture was treated with acryloyl chloride (1.05 equiv., 105.0 mmol., 8.5 ml) dropwise over 5 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 20 min., then diluted with chloroform and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform (1×). The combined organics were washed with brine (1×), dried (Na2 SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give 37.9 g of a black oil. The crude oil was subjected to HPLC on silica gel (gradient elution with hexanes increasing to 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 19.03 g of a purple oil which was further purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (elution with 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 17.96 g, 53% yield of the title compound as a brown glass which was homogeneous by HPLC analysis (reverse phase, C18, mobile phase: 60% acetonitrile/0.5% aqueous ammonium acetate buffer), thin layer chromatography (Silica gel, Rf =~0.5, developed with 40% ethyl acetate/hexanes), and 300 MHz 1H NMR analysis. FDMS: m/e=337. α[D]589 =-24.75 (c=1.0, CHCl3).
