摘要

The alumina-catalyzed reactions of 1-naphthol (I) with excess methanol were studied as a function of temperature (275-550') and catalyst acidity. Three types of reactions were observed:(a) ether formation,(b) ring methylation, and (c) self-condensation of I. Formation of 1-methoxynaphthlene (type a) is significant only at 275-300" over catalysts of low acidity. At 350-550'the predominant reaction (60-9.5%) is ring methylation with concurrent ...
