2-Chloro-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid

Description:
2-Chloro-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its naphthalene structure substituted with a chlorine atom and a carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many naphthalene derivatives. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The carboxylic acid functional group contributes to its acidity and potential for forming salts and esters. Additionally, 2-chloro-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, further expanding its utility in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Overall, this compound serves as an important intermediate in organic chemistry and materials science.
