Vanadium (V) in perchloric acid: A novel use of the reagent for dimerisation of some naphtalene derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086137

Oxidative dimerisation of 2-naphthol and its methyl ether into the respective 1, 1'-dimers was achieved in good yield and excellent purity through a one-step method using ammonium metavanadate and dilute perchloric acid. 1-Naphthol gave a mixture of isomeric dimers, although its methyl ether was converted almost quantitatively into the corresponding 4, 4'-dimer. This reagent could also dimerise 2-hydroxyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone, a natural product.
