Product Information

• Name: (2-Naphthyloxy)acetyl chloride
• Synonyms: acetyl chloride, (2-naphthalenyloxy)-
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (2-Naphthyloxy)acetyl chloride is an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, which is the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde. It has been shown to be active against grapevine, but not against the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (2-Naphthyloxy)acetyl chloride inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase with a potency comparable to hexanol and ethylene glycol. It also inhibits esterases, which may account for its inhibitory effect on vinifera l. (2-Naphthyloxy)acetyl chloride has been shown to be more selective in inhibiting both alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases than hexanol or ethylene glycol.
