Naphthalenes with an Me group in the 1-position gave aldehydes in good to excellent yields when oxidized with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in 50percent HOAc at 85 deg C.Under the same conditions methylnaphthalenes with no Me group in a peri position gave aldehydes in fair yields but also significant amounts of 1,4-naphthoquinone.
