1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 4-(bromomethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 4-(bromomethyl)-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2417-75-6, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene backbone with a carboxylic acid functional group and a bromomethyl substituent at the 4-position. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene structure. The presence of the bromomethyl group introduces reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of more complex molecules. Its carboxylic acid moiety can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. The compound may exhibit biological activity, and its derivatives are often explored for applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Overall, this compound serves as a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry.
