Abstract
Abstract Manganese-triacetate mediated oxidation of 1-hydroxy-2-napthalene carboxylates in benzene under anhydrous conditions delivers the dimerized product. However, acetoxylation on the ortho - or para -position, or oxidation to quinones occurs on the 1-hydroxy-3-substituted 2-napthalene carboxylates depending on the nature of the substituents when the reaction is carried out in a mixture of acetic acid/acetonitrile.
