Procedure
100 g (0.63 mol) of 2-methoxynaphthalene were dissolved in 1.2 l of acetic acid and, at 10° C., 100 ml of 65% strength nitric acid were slowly added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 10° C. for a further 2 h. The precipitate was then filtered off with suction to yield 72.5 g (57%). Melting point 129°-130° C.
