naphthalene-1,8-diyldimethanol

Description:
Naphthalene-1,8-diyldimethanol, with the CAS number 2026-08-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a naphthalene backbone with two hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) attached at the 1 and 8 positions. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. Naphthalene-1,8-diyldimethanol exhibits properties typical of polyhydroxylated aromatic compounds, including potential applications in the synthesis of polymers, surfactants, and other chemical intermediates. Its hydroxymethyl groups can participate in various chemical reactions, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, the presence of the naphthalene moiety may impart certain electronic and optical properties, which can be of interest in materials science and medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
