Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was prepared in much the same manner as in Example 1, except that 18.6 g of 1-ethoxy-2-methylnaphthalene (86% content) was used in place of 1-methoxy-2-methylnaphthalene and the amount of 35% hydrogen peroxide was increased to 36.0 g. The yield was 9.3 g (58.1%).
