CAS 15971-29-6: 4-Methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde

Description: 4-Methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure with a methoxy group and an aldehyde functional group. It features a methoxy (-OCH₃) substituent at the 4-position and an aldehyde (-CHO) group at the 1-position of the naphthalene ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to light brown solid and is known for its aromatic properties. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. 4-Methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde is often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the aldehyde group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attacks, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and oxidation. Additionally, it may exhibit fluorescence properties, making it useful in certain analytical applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential health hazards.
