Reaction Steps

The thus obtained white microcrystals consisting of 6-(2-hydroperoxy-2-propyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and 6-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid were reacted in acetonitrile at 50° C. for 30 minutes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and perchloric acid. Thus, the two compounds were subjected to acid decomposition to form 6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid almost quantitatively.
