4-(acetyloxy)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid

Description:
4-(Acetyloxy)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid, also known by its CAS number 6566-42-3, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene backbone substituted with both an acetyloxy group and a carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its aromatic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. The acetyloxy group enhances its reactivity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, the compound may exhibit fluorescence due to the naphthalene structure, which is significant in applications such as dye synthesis or as a fluorescent probe. Its structural features suggest potential uses in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential hazards associated with its use.
