Abstract
Naphthalenedicarboxylic acids are the starting material for production of optically active substances, dyes, heat-resistant polymers, plasticizers, herbicides, and ultraviolet stabilizers for polyethylene films. The hydroperoxides of alkylnaphthalenes are also effective polymerization initiators. In the present survey an attempt is made to systematize the works on oxidation of alkylnaphthalenes and synthesis of naphthalenedicarboxylic acids. In addition, data on the production of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid not previously surveyed are given.
