Procedure

A mixture of 2.31 g of ethyl 6-(1-imidazolylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenecarboxylate, 0.49 g of sodium hydroxide, 60 ml of methanol and 20 ml of water was heated under reflux for 4 hours. Methanol was distilled off in vacuo and 50 ml of water was added to the residue. Chloroform was added to the mixture and the aqueous layer was separated. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 6 with 2 normal hydrochloric acid. The precipitate formed was collected by filtration and washed with water to give 1.14 g of 6-(1-imidazolylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid as a colorless powder with m.p. 224°-226° C.
