Abstract
The conversion of 2,6-dialky naphthalene to the corresponding 2,9-dicarboxy naphthalene by microbiological means is described. Exemplary means include the use of NAH7 plasmids, encoding aromatic oxygenase enzymes, in a Pseudomonas host. The conversion product is useful as a monomer in the production of high performance synthetic polymers.
