Description

2-Naphthaldehyde is an antimicrobial agent that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in vitro. It has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein. 2-Naphthaldehyde is an intramolecular hydrogen acceptor and a substrate for coumarin derivatives. The reaction mechanism of 2-napthalaldehyde is not yet fully understood, but it has been proposed that 2-napthalaldehyde reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium phenolate and acetone. 2-Naphthaldehyde also shows genotoxic activity, as it has been shown to induce structural aberrations in bacterial DNA. This chemical compound also forms coordination geometry complexes with metal ions such as copper and zinc.
