2,6-Decahydronaphthalenediol

Description:

2,6-Decahydronaphthalenediol, with the CAS number 102942-69-8, is a bicyclic organic compound characterized by its two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a decahydronaphthalene framework. This compound is a diol, meaning it contains two alcohol functional groups, which significantly influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of hydroxyl groups allows for hydrogen bonding, which can enhance its solubility in polar solvents and affect its melting and boiling points. 2,6-Decahydronaphthalenediol is of interest in various chemical applications, including as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis and in the formulation of certain materials. Its structural features may also impart specific properties that are useful in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
