A scalable and efficient method for the synthesis of pyrene‐4,5‐dione has been developed. The addition of N ‐methylimidazole (NMI, 5 mol‐%) to a known oxidation reaction was shown to marginally improve the yield and dramatically improve the ease of the workup and thus the amount of product isolable in a day by using regular laboratory equipment.
