High yields and selectivities are achieved for the alkylation of 1‐naphthol with alcohols in the presence of an iron catalyst in a continuous gas‐phase process. The resulting 2‐alkyl‐1‐naphthols can be easily separated from the product mixture. This opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of important industrial intermediates.
