1-Chloromethyl naphthalene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Solid

Uses

1-(Chloromethyl)naphthalene is a key material for synthesis dye pigment and as fluorescent brightening agent. It is employed in synthetic resin and medicine. Palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of chloromethyl naphthalene derivatives produce ortho- or para-substituted carbocycles in satisfactory to excellent yields.

General Description

Kinetics and dissociation mechanism of 1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene following 266nm photoexcitation has been studied. Intermolecular nucleophilic dearomatization of 1-chloromethyl naphthalene with various activated methylene compounds has been investigated.
