1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene (3) is synthesized from 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (2) as a starting material through a known three-phase reaction, and then 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene (3) is demethylated to produce 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphtoquinone(4) as a synthesis intermediate. A detailed synthesis method is disclosed in cited references presented in the reaction schemes above, and a solvent used herein may be a solvent that does not adversely affect the reaction, and examples of such a solvent are sodium hydroxide, acetonitrile, anhydrous methanol, N, N-dimethylformamide, and chloroform. The initial methylation is performed in such a manner that dimethyl sulfate is dropped to 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene dissolved in sodium hydroxide in the presence of a nitrogen gas for 1 hour and the reaction was performed for 2 hours. The reaction product is re-crystallized with benzene to produce 1,5-dimethoxynaphthalene.
