CAS 95517-07-0: Ethanone,1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-hydroxy-2-naphthalenyl)-

6-Acetyl-5-hydroxytetralin

2-Acetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthol is a building block known also as 6-acetyl-5-hydroxytetralin and 1-(1-Hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethenone. 2-Acetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthol has partially saturated naphthol ring and an ethyl ketone substituent. The phenol moiety can be alkylated with an alkyl halide and base such as methyl iodide and cesium carbonate. Wittig chemistry can be performed on the ethyl ketone to form the corresponding alkene by reaction with a phosphonium bromide. Compounds containing this partially saturated naphthol have been investigated as activators of AMPK.
