Description:2-Naphthalenethiol, also known as 1-naphthalenethiol, is an organic compound characterized by a naphthalene ring substituted with a thiol (-SH) group at the second position. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. This compound is known for its ability to form strong hydrogen bonds due to the presence of the thiol group, which also makes it a good nucleophile in various chemical reactions. 2-Naphthalenethiol is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various thiol derivatives and as a reagent in the development of sensors and catalysts. Additionally, it exhibits interesting properties such as fluorescence and can participate in redox reactions. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with 2-naphthalenethiol in laboratory settings.
