CAS 91903-16-1

1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 5-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 5-methoxy-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 91903-16-1, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene backbone, which is a fused bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group that is esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of a methoxy group at the 5-position of the naphthalene ring contributes to its chemical properties, influencing its solubility and reactivity. Typically, such compounds exhibit moderate polarity due to the functional groups, which can affect their interactions in various chemical environments. They may also display interesting biological activities, making them of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The compound is likely to be a solid at room temperature, with potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
