1-Bromo-2-naphthaldehyde

1-Bromo-2-naphthaldehyde is a reactive aldehyde that reacts with alkyl halides to form unsymmetrical adducts. This compound undergoes intramolecular hydrogenation and can be used as an excellent starting material for synthesizing ferrocenes. 1-Bromo-2-naphthaldehyde is also used in the synthesis of photochromic compounds, which are compounds that change color when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. 1-Bromo-2-naphthaldehyde undergoes protonation and forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules, making it useful for research on hydrogen bonding.

1,6-Dibromo-2-methoxy-naphthalene (DBMN) is a ketone that is chemically reactive and has catalytic properties. It is used as a diluent in the synthesis of 2-bromo-6-methoxynaphthalene, acetone, naphthaldehyde, and related compounds. DBMN has also been used as a multifunctional catalyst for hydrogenating reaction systems. This chemical can be used in the production of nanocrystalline materials with high surface area. 1,6-Dibromo-2-methoxy-naphthalene is most commonly used as an additive in plastics because it does not react with other molecules.
