1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:
1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-hydroxy-1-naphthoate, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene ring structure substituted with a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits properties typical of esters, including the ability to undergo hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a phenolic compound, which may impart antioxidant properties. This compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential applications in the development of biologically active molecules. Additionally, its structure allows for further derivatization, making it a versatile intermediate in chemical synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
