The formation of 3-(4-hydroxy-1-naphthoxy)lactic acid (4-HO-NLA) from propranolol was investigated. Authentic 4-HO-NLA was synthesized from 4-methoxy-1-naphthol using methods previously used for preparation of naphthoxylactic acid (NLA). Cleavage of the 4-methyl ether was accomplished using iodotrimethylsilane in the presence of cyclopentene.
