CAS 1575-96-8: 2-Methyl-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid

Description: 2-Methyl-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid, also known as 2-Methyl-1-naphthoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its naphthalene structure with a methyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It appears as a solid at room temperature and is typically white to off-white in color. This compound is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a melting point that indicates its crystalline nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid group contributes to its acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. 2-Methyl-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid is utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Its structural features also suggest potential applications in materials science and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
