Product Information

• Name: 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene is a halide that has the chemical formula CHClFO. It is a synthetic precursor for epoxides and other organic compounds. 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene can be synthesized from ferrocene and trifluoroacetic acid by the addition of chloride. The compound was first prepared by Edward D. Leete in 1891, who proposed its name "1,4-dimethoxybenzene". It has been studied extensively as a model compound for organic synthesis due to its ability to undergo electrophilic substitution reactions with electron-deficient alkenes to form epoxides stereoselectively. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for both the free base and the salt form of this compound. IR spectra show bands at 3367 cm−1 (ν(C=O) stretching), 1658 cm−1 (ν(C=O) symmetric stretch),
