Procedure: A solution of triphenylphosphine (469 mg, 1.79 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of carbon tetrabromide (592 mg, 1.79 mmol) and (3-iodo-2-naphthyl)methanol (423 mg, 1.49 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (11 mL) at room temperature under N2. The reaction was stirred for 4 h at room temperature and was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. This was purified by flash chromatography (Si, 25×160 mm, 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes gradient) to afford 2-(bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene, as a colorless solid. Rf=0.84 (20% EtOAc/hexanes). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.39 (s, 1H); 7.94 (s, 1H); 7.78-7.76 (m, 1H); 7.71-7.69 (m, 1H); 7.52-7.48 (m, 2H); 4.76 (s, 2H). was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product This was purified by flash chromatography (Si, 25×160 mm, 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes gradient)

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of (3-amino-2-naphthyl)methanol (500 mg, 2.89 mmol) in water (3 mL), acetone (3 mL) and concentrated HCl (1.6 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of sodium nitrite (219 mg, 3.18 mmol) in water (0.7 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred for 2 h at 0° C. and a solution of potassium iodide (719 mg, 4.33 mmol) and concentrated H2SO4 (0.16 mL) in water (1.2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 2-3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and 50% saturated Na2SO3 (30 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL) and the combined extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. This was purified by flash chromatography (Si, 25×160 mm, 0-40% EtOAc in hexanes gradient) to afford (3-iodo-2-naphthyl)methanol. Rf=0.47 (20% EtOAc/hexanes). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.35 (s, 1H); 7.91 (s, 1H); 7.81 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H); 7.71 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H); 7.47-7.42 (m, 2H); 4.69 (s, 2H). The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 2-3 h The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL) the combined extracts were washed with brine (20 mL) dried (Na2SO4) concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product This was purified by flash chromatography (Si, 25×160 mm, 0-40% EtOAc in hexanes gradient)
