PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HIGHLY PURE 2,6- DIACETOXYNAPHTHALENE

摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HIGHLY PURE 2,6-DIACETOXYNAPHTHALENE Disclosed herein is a process for producing highly pure 2,6-diacetoxynaphthalene, which comprises oxidizing 2,6-di(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)naphthalene in acetonitrile, 1,4-dioxane or a mixture thereof with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an inorganic acid or a solid acid, and acetylating the obtained 2,6-naphthalenediol to obtain 2,6-diacetoxynaphthalene.
