7,8-Dimethyl-l-tetralone 4 on sodium borohydride reduction followed by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction furnishes 7, 8-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2-naphthaldehyde 10. Reduction of 10 followed by oxidation with Jones reagent yields 7, 8-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid 12 which on treatment with excess of methyllithium affords 7, 8-dimethyl-2-(2-hydroxyisopropyl) tetralin 2. 5,6-dimethyl-l-tetralone 5 is converted into the 5,6-dimethyl-2-(2-hydroxyisopropyl)tetralin 3 by following similar set of reactions as described above.
