6-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid

Description:

6-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, with the CAS number 16712-64-4, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the naphthalene framework, specifically at the 6 and 2 positions, respectively. It appears as a solid, typically white to light yellow in color, and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of both functional groups imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and salt formation. 6-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals, due to its ability to act as a precursor or intermediate. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.

6-Hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid

CAS: 16712-64-4

6-Hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid is an amide that is hydrolyzed to 6-hydroxybenzoic acid and formamide. It has been used as a viscosity modifier in the synthesis of polymers. 6-Hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid can be produced by a borane-tetrahydrofuran complex reaction with naphthalene. This reaction also produces p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which can then be converted to hydroxybenzoic acid with hydrochloric acid. The structural analysis of this compound has been performed using fluorescence probes and an inorganic acid.
