Help with synthesis of 5-Bromo-2-naphthoic acid
Hello i an looking for a pathway to synthesize 5-Bromo-2-naphthoic acid. I did find a synthesis for 5-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004040390...) and I am looking for a way to remove the hydroxy group to get to
5-Amino-2-naphthoic acid . Does anyone have an idea of how irt could be done or if there might be an easier way?. Thank you

I wasn't sure if it would work because all i could find when searching was meth related , couldn't find anything about how it would interact with
other groups

Not sure how to make the O-triflate without reacting the amine, but if you can do that, it is easily hydrogenated to the H. I think the
diethylphosphate also can be hydrogenated, but not as sure.

Meth rxn has an amino group a hydroxyl a benzene ring.a lot of the same groups.so it's similar enough to look into doing the reduction the same.doesnt
seem to be
any reason it won't work other than the alcohol is attached to the ring and that's like a phenol which can't be reduced easily but bcoz it's a napthyl
ring not a phenol ring maybe what applies to phenol don't apply here so hopefully it's that simple.maybe not but worth looking into.
