Description

2-Chloronaphthalene is a polychlorinated naphthalene that has been shown to be an effective inducer of p450 activity, which is a cytochrome P450 enzyme. 2-Chloronaphthalene is also a structural analog of the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and has been shown to have similar toxic effects on the liver. 2-Chloronaphthalene is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a precursor for other compounds. It can be used to synthesize malonic acid, which can be reacted with sodium hydroxide or carbon disulfide to produce polymeric matrices such as polyvinyl chloride.
