CAS 2437-16-3: 5-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid

Description: 5-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid, with the CAS number 2437-16-3, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the naphthalene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited. The presence of both functional groups imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. 5-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid is often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical products. Its unique structure also allows it to exhibit potential biological activity, 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 risks associated with exposure.
