2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid

Description:

2-(Naphthalen-1-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid, also known by its CAS number 71432-05-8, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a naphthalene ring and a phenyl group attached to a prop-2-enoic acid moiety. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic compounds, such as stability and potential for π-π stacking interactions due to its conjugated system. It is likely to be a solid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group suggests it can participate in acid-base reactions and may exhibit acidic properties. Additionally, the compound may have applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as a building block in materials science due to its unique structural features. Its reactivity can be influenced by the electron-donating and withdrawing effects of the naphthyl and phenyl groups, making it a subject of interest in various chemical research fields.
