Abstract
The oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene in the solution of lithium acetate in glacial acetic acid has been investigated. It has been found that, within the range of potentials 1.10–1.25 V vs saturated mercury acetate electrode in glacial acetic acid, the oxidation process results in mono- and diacetates of 2-methylnaphthalene formation. The values of E τ/4 for 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-acetate-2-methylnaphthyl and 1,4-diacetate-2-methylnaphthyl oxidation have been determined as 1.09, 1.05 and 1.13 V, respectively. The degree of 2-methylnaphthalene conversion to monoacetate reaches its maximum value at 1.25 V which is 32.8%.
