2-Naphthalenecarbonyl chloride, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-

Description:

2-Naphthalenecarbonyl chloride, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure with a carbonyl chloride functional group. It features a tetrahydro configuration, indicating the presence of a saturated cyclic structure derived from naphthalene. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the formation of amides and esters. The compound is likely to be sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze to form the corresponding carboxylic acid. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may be corrosive and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and incompatible substances, is essential to maintain its stability and reactivity.
