2-Propenoic acid, 3-(2-naphthalenyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Propenoic acid, 3-(2-naphthalenyl)-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 3-(2-naphthyl)acrylate, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate structure, which features a vinyl group and a carboxylate functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the naphthalene moiety contributes to its aromatic properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical processes. Methyl 3-(2-naphthyl)acrylate is often utilized in polymer chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of polymers and copolymers through radical polymerization techniques. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in the production of various fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation.
