In a 10 mL round bottomed flask add 0.064 g of NaOH, 0.20 g of 2-naphthyl, and boiling stones. Then add 3 ml of absolute ethanol to the round bottomed flask and attach to the air condenser. Reflux the mixture by hovering the flask over the sand bath until there are no longer any solids and continue for 25 minutes. After the 25 minutes, cool the mixture for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, add 0.2 mL of n-butyl iodide through the top of the air condenser and then reflux the mixture for an hour. Cool water in an ice bath for the last 10 minutes of the reflux.
