Description

2-Naphthaleneboronic acid is an organic compound that has been used as a model system for studying the binding of organic molecules to metal ions. It has been shown to bind with high affinity and specificity to sodium, potassium, and lithium ions. 2-Naphthaleneboronic acid binds to the metal ion by forming a boronate ester linkage with one of its hydroxyl groups. The other two hydroxyl groups are involved in hydrogen bonding interactions with the metal ion. This process is reversible, which allows it to be used as a model system for studying the binding of organic molecules to metal ions. 2-Naphthaleneboronic acid is also used in the synthesis of various compounds, including diphenyl ethers and anhydrous sodium carbonate. It can be prepared by reacting naphthalene with anhydrous sodium carbonate in hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate solution at temperatures ranging from 50 °C to 150 °C
