Description

2-Methylnaphthalene is a carcinogenic compound that is used as a solid catalyst. It has been shown to increase the activity of hydrochloric acid, an inorganic acid, and acylation reactions. 2-Methylnaphthalene also has been found to be a good catalyst for cyclohexane ring formation and activation energies. The reaction mechanism of 2-methylnaphthalene is not completely understood but it is thought that the carbonyl group on the benzene ring may be involved. 2-Methylnaphthalene can react with piperonyl butoxide, which is an organic compound, and naphthalene to form 1-methylnaphthalene.
