I want to design a simple synthesis method that can be carried out by undergrad students at a synthesis lab.

I can't find definitive literature about the procedure in rigorous details. All that I can find is that 2-naphthol must be treated with concentrated sulfuric acid (8M) at 125-130 degree Celsius to produce it.

But I can't find any information regarding the reactant ratios, duration of reaction, and separation/purification procedure.

Literature going into depth would be highly appreciated.
