Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.0 9 (0.058 mol) of 1-naphthoic acid in 100 mL HOAc was treated with 0.5 g PtO2 and reduced at 29° C., 50 psi. When the required amount of H2 had been taken up, the mixture was filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from EtOAc/hexane to give 6.84 g (67% yield) of the product. The structure was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
