CAS 1321-94-4
:Methylnaphthalene
Description:
Methylnaphthalene is an organic compound that belongs to the naphthalene family, characterized by its fused aromatic rings. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature with a distinctive aromatic odor. Methylnaphthalene exists in several isomeric forms, with 1-methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene being the most common. The compound is hydrophobic and has low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular structure contributes to its relatively high boiling point and melting point compared to aliphatic hydrocarbons. Methylnaphthalene is primarily used as a solvent, in the production of dyes, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals. It is also found in some petroleum products and can be a byproduct of coal tar distillation. While it is not classified as highly toxic, prolonged exposure may cause irritation to the skin and respiratory system, and it is advisable to handle it with appropriate safety measures.
