1-naphthoic acid from 1-acetylnaphthalene (chloroform reaction)
I did the chloroform reaction with the 1-acetonaphthone which I synthesized from naphthalene and acetyl chloride catalyzed by AlCl3 (Friedel-Crafts) some time ago.
ideal reaction:
C10H7-CO-CH3 + 3 OCl- -> C10H7COO- + 2 OH- + CHCl3
(but in the experiment it was slightly different and required additional NaOH)
calculations:
50 mmol 1-acetonaphthone =170,2 g/mol * 0,05 mol = 8,5 g
0,15 mol NaOCl 74,44 g/mol * 0,15 mol = 11,2 g
using 12% NaOCl 11,2 / 0,12 = 93,3 g
0,050 mol NaOH (M = 40g/mol) = 2,0 g
these amounts were used:
8,5 g 1-acetonaphthone 50 mmol
100 ml NaOCl containing 24% chlorine
3,0 g NaOH in 5 ml H2O cooled to RT after dissolution (very exothermic) 75 mmol
procedure:
Into 250 ml RBF equipped with thermometer and reflux condenser was put 8,5 g 1-acetylnaphthalene, then 100 ml 12% NaOCl (3-5 years old, stored in +4 C
in fridge) and 3,0 g NaOH dissolved in 5 ml of water and cooled down (exothermic). Reaction was magnetically stirred at high RPM (poor solubility of
the substrate) and heated to +60 C. Smell of chloroform observed after 30 minutes from the top of condenser but later wanished and the substrate was
still present and not fully reacted. After 1 hour 50 ml of NaOCl added, the substrate still present after some time. After another 1 hour 50 ml of
NaOCl added with 3 g of NaOH in 5 ml water. Temperature was 65 C. T raised to 75 C and reaction was stirred for another 1 hour. Now the substrate was
fully reacted, the mixture clear, all chloroform hydrolyzed with NaOH.
Reaction cooled to room temperature, 2 ml acetone added to destroy excess of NaOCl, gravity filtered, strongly alkaline reaction by universal pH
indicator.
30 ml 35% HCl added dropwise while stirring, first 10 ml just neutralized excess of alkaline, next 10 ml precipitated the product, last 10 ml looked
like just evolution of ClO2 from NaClO3 (old NaOCl used and disproportionation reaction by heating 3 NaOCl -> NaClO3 + 2 NaCl).
Cooled down on snow.
Vacuum filtered on Buchner funnel, washed with 50 ml of ice cold water.
Wet cake 80 g (!!! massive amount of water and some dissolved NaCl present !!!)
2x suspended in 200 ml water, magnetically stirred for 1 hour and filtered on Buchner funnel.
7,3 g air dried crude product.
C11H8O2 M=172,2 g.mol-1
50 mmol = 8,6 g (100%)
7,3 g = 85%
Crystallized from 85 %wt isopropanol 70 ml (product fully dissolved, maybe even less could be enough? and certainly more water present = less
concentrated IPA), gravity filtered into clean flask on heating stove plate (to reduce loses by crystallization on cooling down in filtration funnel).
Extra 10 ml of boiling solvent used for washing flask and little of crystals on filter paper (due to slight cooling down on filtering), on the other
hand some solvent boiled out during the filtration as the flask was on heating plate and solvent boiling and heating the filtration funnel positioned
above.
Supersaturation on cooling down observed, a little of solution was taken onto tip of glass rod, evaporated and the solution inoculated. Cooled down to
0 C.
Crystals vacuum filtered on sinter, washed with cca 10 ml of 85 % wt cold (0 C) IPA on sinter, air dried.
yield 3,0 g (1st crop)
m.p. 161-162 C, (lit 161 C)
Mother liquor boiled down to 15 ml for second crop crystallization
second crop 2,3 g
m.p. 160,5 - 161,5 C
total 3,0 + 2,3 = 5,3 g (yield 61%)
Water is not good for recryst, from 150 ml boiling water only 0,25 g of product obtained. 85 wt% isopropanol was just an attempt to find a suitable
solvent, evidently less concentrated IPA could be better and should be tried.

They recrystallized about 130 g of 1-naphthoic acid from 400 ml of toluene.
CV2P0428.pdf
they crystallized about 85 g of 2-naphthoic acid from 600 ml of 95% ethanol
Due to prolonged reaction time caused by poor solubility of organic reactant, all the chloforom hydrolyzed, its scent was present during early stages
of reaction but was completely lost later.
note HCCl3 was destroyed by NaOH, no chloroform obtained as it hydrolyzed with excess of NaOH
HCCl3 + 4 NaOH -> HCOONa + 3 NaCl + 2 H2O
another side reaction when heating NaOCl:
3 NaOCl -> NaClO3 + 2 NaCl
partial reaction:
C10H7-CO-CH3 + 3 NaOCl -> C10H7COONa + 2 NaOH + CHCl3
total reaction:
C10H7-CO-CH3 + 3 NaOCl + 2 NaOH -> C10H7COONa + HCOONa + 3 NaCl + 2 H2O
= more NaOH had to be used since beginning of the reaction, not only 3,0 grams but rather more than 4,0 grams.
substances poorly water soluble or with high melting point (above +60 C) are dissolved in a little of methanol prior the reaction, then NaOCl reacts
with methanol into methyl hypochlorite which is more organic friendly than water + NaOCl
