6-Ethyl-2-naphthol

Description:
6-Ethyl-2-naphthol is an organic compound belonging to the naphthol family, characterized by its naphthalene structure with an ethyl group and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the aromatic rings. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature, exhibiting a melting point that varies based on purity and specific conditions. This compound is known for its aromatic properties and is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its solubility is moderate in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. 6-Ethyl-2-naphthol can undergo typical aromatic reactions, such as electrophilic substitution, and may exhibit antioxidant properties. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
