Abstract
When 1, 2-, 1, 3-and 1, 6-dimethylnaphthalene are oxidized by Ce4+ in acetic acid the corresponding monoaldehydes are formed in better than 80% yield. In each case aldehyde formation takes place with a high degree of selectivity as the methyl-1-to methyl-2- naphthaldehyde ratio is better than 11: 1. The selectivity may be explained from differences in reactivity as calculated within the frontier orbital method.
