Reaction Steps

The above-mentioned white powdery material consisting of 6-(2-hydroperoxy-2-propyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and 6-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid was reacted in a solvent, acetonitrile, at 50° C. for 30 minutes adding hydrogen peroxide and perchloric acid. Thus, the two compounds were simultaneously subjected to acid decomposition to form 6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid nearly quantitatively.
