1,4-Naphthalenedione, 2-(bromomethyl)-

Description:

1,4-Naphthalenedione, 2-(bromomethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 50371-30-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a naphthalene ring system with two carbonyl groups (ketones) at the 1 and 4 positions, and a bromomethyl group attached at the 2 position. This compound typically appears as a solid and is known for its reactivity due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl groups and the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in various substitution reactions. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, or other complex organic molecules. The compound's properties, such as solubility and melting point, can vary based on its purity and the conditions under which it is handled. Safety precautions should be taken when working with this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
