2-Methyl-1-naphthalenecarbonyl chloride

Description:

2-Methyl-1-naphthalenecarbonyl chloride, with the CAS number 10008-12-5, is an organic compound characterized by its carbonyl chloride functional group attached to a naphthalene ring. This compound features a methyl group at the 2-position of the naphthalene structure, which contributes to its unique reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. As an acyl chloride, it is highly reactive, particularly with nucleophiles, making it useful in organic synthesis for the introduction of acyl groups into various substrates. The presence of the carbonyl chloride group also makes it susceptible to hydrolysis, leading to the formation of the corresponding carboxylic acid when exposed to moisture. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Its applications are primarily found in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds.
