Abstract
The oxidation of alkylnaphthalenes with ozone in acetic acid in the presence of cobalt(II) acetate is reported. Under the catalytic conditions, the ozonolysis of the aromatic system can be prevented to a considerable extent and the reaction can be directed toward the oxidation of the alkyl group. The kinetics of the main steps of the process is reported, and the mechanism of redox catalysis is presented.
