METHOD FOR PRODUCING 6-HYDROXYTETRALIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily producing 6-hydroxytetralin useful as a raw material for liquid crystals from decahydronaphthalen-2-one at a low cost. SOLUTION: 6-Hydroxytetralin is produced by brominating decahydronaphthalen-2-one and subjecting to dehydrobromination reaction in an amide solvent in the absence of catalyst.
