Product 1

HCID 18007925Methyl 2-(7-hydroxynaphth-1-yl)ethanoate

Procedure

Dissolve the compound obtained in Step A in 100 ml of methanol. Cool the mixture in an ice-bath. Add thionyl chloride dropwise and maintain the reaction mixture at that temperature for 20 minutes after the addition. Leave for 1 hour at room temperature with stirring. Remove the methanol by evaporation under reduced pressure, and recrystallise the resulting solid from a mixture of toluene/cyclohexane (4/1).
