CAS 4488-40-8: 4-methylnaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid
Description:4-Methylnaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid, with the CAS number 4488-40-8, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its naphthalene structure substituted with a methyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, which is common for many naphthalene derivatives due to their hydrophobic nature. It exhibits properties typical of aromatic compounds, including stability and the potential for electrophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. Additionally, 4-methylnaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may be utilized in the production of various chemical products, including dyes and pharmaceuticals. Its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, can vary based on purity and specific conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
