Description:2,7-Dimethylnaphthalene is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family, characterized by its two fused aromatic rings. It features two methyl groups attached to the naphthalene structure at the 2 and 7 positions, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and has a characteristic aromatic odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2,7-Dimethylnaphthalene exhibits a melting point and boiling point that are typical for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, reflecting its stable aromatic structure. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of dyes and fragrances. Additionally, like other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and consideration of its potential effects.
