Catalytic oxidation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) to 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (2,6-NDCA) was studied with two new catalysts prepared by immobilization of Co/Mn nano-hybrid particles over calcined cow bone, and pyrolyzed wood. The catalysts have the advantage of very cheap supports, and easy catalyst recovery. The effects of Co/Mn atomic ratio, reaction time and temperature, oxygen pressure, amount of catalyst, and the support on the conversion of 2,6-DIPN and product/intermediate yields were investigated. There was an interesting synergistic effect of cobalt and manganese catalysts. The maximum product (2,6-NDCA) yield was 100%, obtained at a Co/Mn atomic ratio of 10 supported on pyrolyzed wood. Lower cobalt concentration resulted the lower 2,6-NDCA yield, which was ascribed to the intermediate products formation. The catalysts were characterized in detail by SEM/EDS, BET surface area, and TEM measurements. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements indicated nanoparticles (diameter of about 2-5 nm) on the surface of the supports.

A new strategy to 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNPA) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid from 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and p-cymene, respectively, was developed using the NHPI-catalyzed aerobic oxidation as a principal reaction. 2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene was oxidized by the oxidation with O2 (1 atm) by NHPI (10 mol %) combined with Co(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %) to give 6-acetyl-2-isopropylnaphthalene, which then was converted to 6-isopropyl-2-naphthoic acid under O2 (1 atm) in the presence of Co(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %) and Mn(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %). Esterification of the resulting acid followed by the aerobic oxidation produced methyl 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoate whose hydrolysis led to the desired HNPA. An alternative route involves the oxidation of 6-acetyl-2-isopropylnaphthalene to 6-acetyl-2-naphthol on which subsequent oxidation and deacetylation gave HNPA. This method was successfully extended to the synthesis of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid from p-cymene.
