Procedure

A solution of 6-methoxy-1-tetralone (5.0 g) in 48% hydrobromic acid (62 ml) was refluxed for 8 hours. The mixture was cooled, filtered and washed with water (50 ml) to give 6-hydroxy-1-tetralone (3.91 g): NMR δ (d6DMSO) 1.9-2.05(m,2H), 2.4-2.55(m,2H), 2.8-2.9(m,2H), 6.65(d,1H), 6.7(dd,1H), 7.75(d,1H),; m/e 163(M+H)+.
