Abstract
There is described a process for the production of 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene of formula I, ##STR1## which comprises treatment of beta naphthol with an absorbant, removal of the absorbant and selective hydrogenation of the resulting beta naphthol, preferably in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions. There is also described a process for the production of a compound of formula I using a rhodium catalyst.
