2-Methylnaphthalene

Description:
2-Methylnaphthalene is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family, characterized by its structure that consists of a naphthalene ring with a methyl group attached to the second carbon atom. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2-Methylnaphthalene has a relatively high boiling point compared to many other hydrocarbons, reflecting its aromatic nature and the presence of multiple conjugated double bonds. It is primarily used in the production of dyes, fragrances, and as a solvent in various chemical processes. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other chemical compounds. While it is considered to have low acute toxicity, prolonged exposure may pose health risks, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling. Its chemical formula is C11H10, and it is classified as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), which raises environmental and health considerations regarding its persistence and potential effects.
