(2-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanol

Description:
(2-Methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methanol, with the CAS number 40696-22-8, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure substituted with a methoxy group and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions. This compound may exhibit interesting biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Its synthesis often involves the functionalization of naphthalene derivatives, and it can be utilized in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
