2-Naphthalenol, 4-(1-methylethyl)-

Description:

2-Naphthalenol, 4-(1-methylethyl)-, also known as 4-isopropylnaphthol, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure substituted with a hydroxyl group and an isopropyl group. This compound features a naphthalene ring system, which consists of two fused benzene rings, contributing to its aromatic properties. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group makes it a phenolic compound, which can exhibit both acidic and basic characteristics depending on the environment. The isopropyl group enhances its hydrophobic nature, influencing its solubility in organic solvents rather than water. 2-Naphthalenol, 4-(1-methylethyl)- is typically used in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds and in the formulation of certain dyes and fragrances. Its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, are influenced by the molecular structure and substituents, which also affect its reactivity and interaction with other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical compound.
