Product Information

• Name: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1-naphthol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1-naphthol is a natural compound that belongs to the group of diazonium compounds. It reacts with an alkanoic acid and a hydrochloric acid in the presence of a diazo compound to form an alkylating product. This product can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds. The reaction mechanism has been studied using rat liver microsomes. 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1-naphthol can react with dopamine in human liver samples to form 1-hydroxyindole and phenylhydroxyl radicals (a reactive oxygen species). 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1-naphthol also reacts with soybean lipoxygenase to produce an alkyl radical intermediate that can react with molecular oxygen to form peroxides.
