naphthalene-2,6-diyldimethanol

Description:

Naphthalene-2,6-diyldimethanol, with the CAS number 5859-93-8, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a naphthalene backbone substituted with two hydroxymethyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. Naphthalene-2,6-diyldimethanol exhibits properties typical of polyhydroxylated aromatic compounds, including potential applications in the synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its hydroxymethyl groups can participate in various chemical reactions, such as etherification and esterification, making it a versatile intermediate in organic chemistry. Additionally, the presence of the naphthalene moiety may impart unique electronic and optical properties, which can be explored in materials science and nanotechnology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
