Abstract The oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene was carried out in acetic acid with aqueous(60%) hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Pd(II)-polystyrene sulfonic acid resin. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was obtained in a yield of 50 to 60% at 50 °C for 8 h. The catalysts recovered by the filtration were reusable.
