Description:3-(Naphthalen-2-yl)propanoic acid, with the CAS number 21658-35-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a propanoic acid moiety attached to a naphthalene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the naphthalene group. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. This compound may be utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or other chemical products. Additionally, its structural features may contribute to specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential hazards.
