I need to perform a reaction of bromomethylnaphthalene with amine to get corresponding methylaminonaphthalene. Due to specific reasons associated with amine solubility, the reaction media should contain water.
As I found out, hydrolysis of bromomethylnaphthalene takes place in these conditions and competes with amination reaction.
Is there a way to slow down the hydrolysis reaction?

Maybe you could try employing micellar catalysis for your reaction. See TPGS-750-M, typically a 2wt% solution of this designer surfactant in neat water.
