1-(2-Phenylethoxy)naphthalene

Description:

1-(2-Phenylethoxy)naphthalene, with the CAS number 20900-20-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a naphthalene moiety substituted with a 2-phenylethoxy group. This compound typically exhibits properties common to aromatic compounds, such as a relatively high melting point and boiling point due to the presence of multiple aromatic rings. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature, with low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents like ethanol and dichloromethane. The presence of the ether functional group (–O–) in the phenylethoxy substituent may impart some polar characteristics, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Additionally, due to its aromatic nature, 1-(2-Phenylethoxy)naphthalene may exhibit fluorescence and could be of interest in various applications, including organic synthesis and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this compound.
