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.

4-Methyl-1-naphthoic acid

CAS: 4488-40-8

4-Methyl-1-naphthoic acid (4MN) is a chemical that belongs to the group of diene compounds. It is a precursor in the biosynthesis of naphthoquinones and can be used for the preparation of aziridines and amides. 4MN has shown inhibitory properties against tumor cells and has been used as an experimental anticancer drug. The antineoplastic activity of 4MN may be due to its ability to interfere with DNA replication and cell division.
