Product Information

• Name: 1,4,5,8-Tetramethylnaphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,4,5,8-Tetramethylnaphthalene is a colorless liquid that is synthesized from naphthalene and trifluoroacetic acid. It has been used as a photolytic substrate in the rationalized synthesis of 1,4-benzoquinones. Tetramethylnaphthalene also reacts with diacetate to form tetraacetates. The compound is stable at low temperatures but undergoes thermal decomposition above 120 degrees Celsius. Tetramethylnaphthalene can be oxidized by air or oxygen to form aniline. This reaction can occur through either orientation of the molecule. Tetramethylnaphthalene has been used as an acceptor in hydrodynamic studies and as a strain in solid state studies.
