1-Naphthyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

1-Naphthyl acetate is white to light yellowish or slightly pink

Uses

1-Naphthyl acetate is usually used in a rapid staining method for identification of macrophages; counts by this method were confirmed by the more complex morphological criteria, by phagocytosis, and by the presence of Fc receptors.

Uses

1-Naphthyl Acetate is used in preparation method for synthesizing Ph Acetate derivative by Acetylation of Phenol compound.

Uses

1-Naphthyl acetate may be used in a rapid staining method for identification of macrophages; counts by this method were confirmed by the more complex morphological criteria, by phagocytosis, and by the presence of Fc receptors. It may be employed as substrate to investigate the distribution of non-specific carboxylic esterases (EC 3.1.1) in the digestive tract of perch, Perm fliiviatilis L.

General Description

1-Naphthyl acetate is a 1-napthyl ester. Mechanism of photo-Fries rearrangement of 1-naphthyl acetate has been studied using steady state photolysis and laser flash photolysis. Kinetics of photo-Fries rearrangement of 1-napthyl acetate has been studied using steady-state, time-resolved chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) and flash photolysis methods.

Purification Methods

Chromatograph the acetate on silica gel and crystallise as the 2-isomer below. The 2,4,7-trinitrofluoren-9-one complex has m 120o (from EtOH). [Beilstein 6 H 608, 6 III 2928, 6 IV 4217.]
