4-Methyl-1-naphthalenemethanol

Description:
4-Methyl-1-naphthalenemethanol, with the CAS number 57322-44-8, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which consists of two fused aromatic rings. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the naphthalene framework, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and 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 hydroxymethyl group allows for potential reactivity, including the ability to participate in various chemical reactions such as oxidation or esterification. 4-Methyl-1-naphthalenemethanol may be used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and specific reactivity, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
