After the 3 hour period, the reaction mixture was cooled and treated with the solution comprising 40 parts by weight of methanol, 25 parts by weight of water and 5 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide to yield a resulting mixture which was then heated at reflux (70°C) for 2 hours and thereafter diluted with approximately 100 parts by weight of water and separated in the 2-phases. The aqueous phase was extracted with ether to yield a phase which was combined with the organic phase and thereafter distilled to obtain a product having a boiling point of from 93°-117°F at 3 millimeters Hg. The product yield comprised 73.5% (based on octalones). A gas liquid chromatographic analysis of this product showed it to include 81.6% octalone, an 8.6 mole % decalone, and 10% other cyclic materials. The resulting mixture was then agitated with 10% of its weight of copper chromite and maintained at a temperature of 250°-350°c for 4 hours to obtain a 75% yield of pure beta-naphthol.
