2-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 4-methoxy-

Description:

2-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 4-methoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a naphthalene ring system substituted with a carboxaldehyde group and a methoxy group. The presence of the aldehyde functional group (-CHO) indicates that it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and condensation. The methoxy group (-OCH3) enhances the compound's solubility in organic solvents and can influence its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, or other fine chemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, are influenced by the substituents on the naphthalene ring, which can affect its electronic characteristics and steric hindrance. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
