    Abstract: A process for the preparation of 2-hydroxynaphthalene-6-carboxylic acid using potassium carbonate and CO at temperatures above 260@C and a pressure of at least 10 bar is characterised in that 2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid and/or 2-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-dicarboxylic acid or their potassium salts and optionally potassium beta -naptholate are used as starting materials. The process according to the invention enables, by reuse of the by-products, the product selectivity to be increased considerably with respect to 2-hydroxynaphthalene-6-carboxylic acid.
