2. Description of the Related Art As a method for producing β-naphthol, a technique of subjecting naphthalenesulfonic acid to alkali melting is known (see, for example, JP-A-61-115039). However, this method requires the use of a large amount of corrosive substances such as strong acid and strong alkali, requires the use of expensive corrosion-resistant equipment materials, and produces a large amount of by-product (sulfurous acid). There is a problem that it is necessary to treat sodium, and equipment and a treatment process therefor must be used, and the existence of such a problem is extremely inconvenient particularly from the viewpoint of industrial implementation.

The reaction temperature of the cyclodehydrogenation reaction is 300 to 70.
0 degreeC is preferable, More preferably, it is 400-600 degreeC. If the reaction temperature is too low, the desired cyclodehydrogenation reaction does not proceed sufficiently, while if the reaction temperature is too high, undesirable side reactions may increase. The reaction pressure of the cyclodehydrogenation reaction is preferably 20 atm or less, more preferably 10 atm or less. If the reaction pressure is too high, a hydrogenation reaction may occur on the side chain of p-butenylphenol. In addition, the reaction may be carried out in the gas phase,
It is preferable for the progress of the reaction. The feed rate of p-butenylphenol, which is the reaction raw material, is 0.01 in terms of liquid superficial velocity (that is, the feed rate of the raw material per 1 liter of the catalyst per hour, which is expressed in hr −1 unit). -10h
r -1 is preferred. The reaction raw material, p-butenylphenol, is vaporized by a preheater and then sent to a reaction vessel. At this time, an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon and / or an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene or phenol or an alicyclic group is used. The p-butenylphenol may be diluted with an organic solvent such as hydrocarbon or aliphatic hydrocarbon and then supplied to the reaction vessel. In order to recover the desired β-naphthol from the reaction mixture obtained by the cyclodehydrogenation reaction, for example, a usual method such as distillation or crystallization may be used.
