2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 6-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 6-methoxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 6-methoxy-2-naphthoate, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene backbone substituted with a methoxy group and a carboxylate ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its reactivity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in various chemical syntheses and potential pharmaceutical applications. The compound may exhibit properties such as moderate volatility and stability under standard conditions, but it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity. Its applications may include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of dyes, or in the development of agrochemicals. As with any chemical, proper safety protocols should be followed when handling this substance.
