Abstract

The oxydation of 1, 5-dihydroxynaphthalene by potassium Superoxide is essentially an interfacial solid/liquid reaction, which leads to 2, 5-and 3, 5-dihydroxy-1, 4- naphthoquinones. The reaction proceeds in two steps through the formation of 5-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
