Abstracts

EN

In this paper, theoxidation process of
2 -methylnaphthalene to vitamin K3, using a gold catalyst
systems will be discussed. This catalysis process is based
on the hypercrosslinked polystyrene, synthesized by the
impregnation with solutions of precursors − HAuCl4·2H2O
and Ph3PAuCl. The use of gold catalyst system, which has
been synthesized using Ph3PAuCl, allows to obtain the
main product − 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone − with 72%
yield.
