Abstract

Oxidation of dihydronaphthalenes by potassium superoxide (KO2) in heterogeneous aprotic media yields mono-or dihydroxynaphthoquinones, depending on the relative position of the hydroxy groups on the naphthalene moiety. The reaction proceeds mainly at the solid-liquid interface and naphthoquinones can be obtained with good yields.
