Oxidation Products from 4-Methoxy-2-Methyl-1-Naphthol

The oxidation of 4-methoxy-2-methyl-1-naphthol by lead(IV) oxide gives 1-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde, 4-methoxy-1,2-naphthaquinone and a spironaphthalenenaphthopyranone. The last of these undergoes aerial oxidation in solution forming a dinaphtho-oxepinquinone.
