Abstract
A process for producing 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid by oxidizing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalyst including cobalt, manganese and bromine. The oxidation reaction is performed by using a 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene mixture of 2,6-dimethynaphthalene and a small amount of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene as a raw material. Thus, the desired 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid can be produced at a high yield.
