摘要
The oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene was carried out in acetic acid with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. 2-Methyl-1,4naphthoquinone was obtained in a selectivity of nearly :greater than or equal to90% at 100 degreesC for 3 It. The reaction has been studied by varying different parameters like concentration of hydrogen peroxide, strength of acetic acid, molar ratio of 2-methylnaphthalene to hydrogen peroxide, reaction temperature and time. Compared to the conventional preparation of Vitamin K(3), this method could be economical and ecofriendly as the use of mineral acid and chromium salts are avoided. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
