Abstract
A new catalytic method for the synthesis of vitamins of the K family i s suggested. In this method 2-methyl-1-naphthol is oxidized by dioxyge n in the presence of Mo-V-P heteropoly acids or their salts in a two-p hase system (organic solvent + water) to 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone o r vitamin K3, which is the precursor of all K family vitamins.
