10% w/w Palladium-on-carbon (10 g) was added to a solution of 1-naphthoic acid (33.4 g) in glacial acetic acid (150 ml) and the mixture hydrogenated at 345 kPa (50 psi) and 85° C. for 4 days. The warm mixture was filtered through a short column of Arbacel (trade mark) filter aid and the pad washed with glacial acetic acid (150 ml). Water (1.5 L) was added to the filtrate and the resulting precipitate filtered off and washed with water. The precipitate was dissolved in dichloromethane, the solution dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give an oil which was crystallised from ethyl acetate to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-naphthoic acid (2.94 g) as a white solid (m.p. 148-150° C.).
