2,6-DIMETHYLNAPHTHALENE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene hs been used as a substrate in intramolecular isotope effect experiments to compare substrate dynamics in CYP2E1 and CYP2A6.

Definition

ChEBI: A dimethylnaphthalene carrying methyl groups at positions 2 and 6.

General Description

2,6-dimethylnaphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon available in the water bodies and can be determined by gas chromatography with flame-ionization.

Purification Methods

Distil it in steam and crystallise it from EtOH. [Beilstein 5 IV 1714.]
