Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-methoxy-1-tetralone (5 g, 28.4 mmol) in acetic acid (50 ml) and 48% bromhydric acid (25 ml) was heated at reflux for 7 hours. After extraction with CH2Cl2 and evaporation, the residue was purified by flash chromatography (AcoEt/petroleum ether 45/55) to give 6-hydroxy-1-tetralone as a foam (3.9 g; 84.7%).
