2-Propenoic acid,2-methyl-, 1-naphthalenylmethyl ester

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 1-naphthalenylmethyl ester, commonly known as a type of acrylate ester, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate functional group, which imparts reactivity typical of unsaturated carboxylic acids. This compound features a naphthalenylmethyl group, contributing to its unique structural properties and potential applications in various fields, including polymer chemistry and materials science. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the naphthalene moiety enhances its hydrophobicity and may influence its solubility in organic solvents. This ester is known for its ability to undergo polymerization, making it useful in the production of coatings, adhesives, and other polymeric materials. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific toxicological data should be consulted for safety assessments. As with many acrylate compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential skin and respiratory irritations.
