Procedure

3.0 g (9 millimoles) of 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethylnaphth-2-yl)-ethynyl]-benzoic acid, 4 g (30 millimoles) of potassium carbonate and 2.9 g (18.9 millimoles) of iodoethane in 27 ml of butan-2-one were refluxed until conversion was complete (monitored by thin layer chromatography). When the mixture had cooled, the solid was filtered off, the filtrate was evaporated down and the residue was recrystallized from methanol to give 2.1 g (65%) of the title compound of melting point 137°-138° C.
