2-Naphthoic acid, 98+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

2-Naphthoic acid is an unprotected acid undergoes lithiation, e.g. with s-BuLi, by stereospecific 1,4-addition, providing a facile route to 1,2,2-trisubstituted 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The fluorescence spectra and electronic absorption of 2-naphthoic acid was studied.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
