2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 1-amino-7-methyl-

Description:

2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 1-amino-7-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene backbone, which consists of two fused aromatic rings. The presence of a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the 2-position and an amino group (-NH2) at the 1-position, along with a methyl group (-CH3) at the 7-position, contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is likely to exhibit both acidic and basic characteristics due to the functional groups present, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amination. It may also engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility and reactivity. The compound's structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, its molecular interactions could be of interest in studies related to biological activity or material science. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
