A simple procedure for the synthesis of a variety of o-carboxyarylacrylic acids has been developed with Oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4); the oxidation reaction involves the stirring of methoxy/hydroxy-substituted naphthalenes, phenanthrenes, anthracenes, etc. with Oxone in an acetonitrile-water mixture (1:1, v/v) at rt. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds via initial oxidation of naphthalene to o-quinone, which undergoes cleavage to the corresponding o-carboxyarylacrylic acid. The higher aromatics are found to yield carboxymethyl lactones derived from the initially formed o-carboxyarylacrylic acids.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The catalytic oxidation of naphthalenes was investigated. Hydrogen peroxide (30% aqueous) was used as an oxygen source, and 2,2′-dinitro-4,4′-ditrifluoromethyldiphenyl diselenide was the oxygen-transfer catalyst. Unsubstitute
