Abstract

Naphthalene polycarboxylic acids or their anhydrides are prepared by contacting acenaphthene or a substituted acenaphthene having one or more nuclear aliphatic substituents of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in the liquid phase at an elevated temperature with molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a heavy metal oxidation catalyst and bromine until the oxygen content of the gases in contact with the reaction mixture is essentially constant and thereafter further contacting the reaction mixture with a further quantity of molecular oxygen for a further period of 0.5 to 4 hours. The reaction is preferably carried out in a carboxylic acid solvent medium, preferably acetic acid. Specified heavy metal catalysts are bismuth, lead, copper, vanadium, tin, chromium, cerium molybdenum and preferably, manganese and cobalt. The bromine may be used as such, in the form of an inorganic bromide or an organic bromine-containing compound. Specified substituted acenaphthenes include compounds wherein the aliphatic substituent is attached to two different nuclear carbon atoms, e.g. bi-acenaphthene and periacenaphthen-indandione which gives naphthalene-1 : 4 : 5 : 8-tetracarboxylic acid on oxidation. In examples a mixture of acenaphthene and glacial acetic acid was oxidised with air using cobalt acetate, manganese acetate and ammonium bromide as catalyst at 400 DEG F. and 400 p.s.i.g. to give naphthalic anhydride.
