“…The 1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene was recrystallized from petroleum ether (40-60 °C) until a melting point of 33 °C was obtained. 6-Methylazulene was prepared (28% yield) by a modification of the method of Hafner.9 l-(Thiophenoxymethyl)naphthalene was synthesized by using a slightly modified procedure of Paquette et al 10 The compound had a melting point of 73-73.5 °C (lit.10 mp 72-73.5 °C), and NMR, IR, and MS data consistent with the assigned structure.…”
