Steps:
2 2-phenyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid
2-phenyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid Phenylmagnesium bromide (0.20 M in THF; 33.0 mL; 6.6 mmol) is added dropwise to a solution of 2-methoxynaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid (606 mg, 3.0 mmol) in 20 mL of anhydrous THF. The reaction mixture is refluxed for two hours, and then hydrolyzed at room temperature with distilled water (20 mL), acidified to pH=1 with an aqueous HCl solution (2M) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3*40 mL). The combined organic phases are dried over MgSO4, filtered then concentrated under reduced pressure. After recrystallization (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate: 1/3), 2-phenyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid is isolated as a white solid (506 mg, 68%). Mp=118-120° C. (Alaka, R.; Indian J. Chem. 1967, 5, 610. 114° C.). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) d: 8.29 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.88-7.83 (m, 2H), 7.73 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 2H), 7.47-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.33-7.25 (m, 4H). IR (ATR, cm-1): 3049, 1693, 1463, 1333, 861, 759. HRMS m/z calculated for C17H13O2 ([M+H]+): 249.0916 found 249.0940.
