2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 3-(methylthio)-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 3-(methylthio)-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 89574-81-2, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings. This compound features a carboxylic acid group and a methylthio group at the 3-position of the naphthalene ring, along with a methyl ester functional group. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic naphthalene core. The presence of the methylthio group can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it of interest in various chemical syntheses and applications. This compound may be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic reactions. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and specific reactivity, would depend on the molecular interactions and the environment in which it is used. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
