1485mixture was poured into water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The layers were separated and the CHzClz layer was dried over sodium sulfate. Chromatography (SiO,; hexane-ether) gave a colorless oil: 31 mg (26%); NMR 1.90 (m, 2 H, CHJ, 2.33 (s,4 H, COCHJ, 2.90 (m, 4 H, benzylic), 7.20 (s, 4 H, aromatic); IR 3525 (6 H), 1710 (c=O), 1600 (aromatic); mass spectrum, m l e 190 ( M ' ) , 147This compound was further identified by the preparation of its semicarbazone. 2-Acetyl-2-hydroxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (30 mg, 0.16 mmol) was added to a mixture of semicarbazide hydrochloride (150 mg, 1.05 "01) and sodium acetate
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
