Well, have you done any literature research yourself, or are you just asking us to do your work for you?
This is not a good first post. It's nice if new members bring something to the table rather than just expecting to take something away from it.
Posts in the Organic Chemistry section are expected to include literature references.

Napthalene to benzene is fairly crap from the synthesis point of view as you are turning a big molecule in to a smaller molecule and you are not
going to do it in one step.
A saner way is starting from sodium benzoate, your product is smaller than your starting material but not by a lot and it is one step and quite easy.
