✦ Synopsis


2-Methylnaphthalene 1 is oxidized to 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone 2 by virtue of a new catalyst system in high yields and selectivity. A mixture of aqueous hydrogen peroxide and acetic anhydride is used as oxidant in the presence of Ž . methyltrioxorhenium VII dissolved in acetic acid as solvent. The concentration of acetic acid in the reaction mixture plays a Ž . crucial role for the activation of acetic anhydride mediated by methyltrioxorhenium VII .
