2-(2-methylprop-2-enyl)naphthalene

Description:

2-(2-methylprop-2-enyl)naphthalene, also known by its CAS number 936621-15-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a naphthalene ring substituted with a 2-methylprop-2-enyl group. This compound features a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon framework, which contributes to its stability and potential hydrophobic properties. The presence of the alkenyl side chain introduces unsaturation, which can influence its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic addition reactions. The compound is likely to exhibit typical characteristics of aromatic compounds, such as a distinct odor and the ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and substitution. Its physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, would depend on the specific interactions of the naphthalene core and the substituent. Due to its structural features, it may also have applications in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data and handling precautions should be consulted, as with any chemical substance.
