Naphthalene, 1-chloro-7-methyl-

Description:
Naphthalene, 1-chloro-7-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a naphthalene ring substituted with a chlorine atom and a methyl group. This compound is part of the larger class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and is known for its aromatic properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid with a characteristic odor reminiscent of mothballs, due to its structural similarity to naphthalene. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces polar characteristics, which can influence its solubility and reactivity compared to unsubstituted naphthalene. Naphthalene derivatives, including this compound, are often utilized in various industrial applications, including as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety considerations are important, as chlorinated compounds can pose environmental and health risks, necessitating proper handling and disposal methods.
