synthetic route
The main synthesis methods are as follows:
Using tetrahydronaphthalene methyl ether as raw material, the following is obtained through oxidation reaction:
Mix tetrahydronaphthalene methyl ether with water and cool;
Slowly add potassium permanganate sulfuric acid solution under vigorous stirring, and control the temperature at 40-45 ℃;
After adding, keep warm and react for 2 hours;
Let it settle and separate into layers, then release the acidic water from the lower layer;
Cool with water to below 0 ℃ and filter;
Wash the filter cake with sodium hydroxide solution until neutral;
Dried product (6-methoxy-1-naphthoquinone).
Other oxidants can be chromium oxide in pyridine hydrochloride.
The preparation pathway of tetrahydronaphthalene methyl ether includes:
Tetrahydronaphthalene → sulfonation → alkali melting → methylation;
β - naphthol → reduction → methylation;
Multiple reactions including benzyl ether → acylation → reduction → cyclization → oxidation, etc
