How can I synthetise dimethyl naphtalate from naphtalene and methanol?
Im not very good in Organic chemistry but I have a lot of inorganic catalyst if it could help.

What exactly do you mean by dimethyl naphtalate? Do you mean a di-ester of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid?
There are a lot of theoretical dicarboxylic acid of naphthalene 1,2; 1,3; 1,4, etc.
