2-Methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene, with the CAS number 1131-53-9, is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the naphthalene ring system, specifically at the 2 and 7 positions, respectively. This compound is characterized by its aromatic structure, which contributes to its stability and unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents while influencing its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. 2-Methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of fragrances and other chemical compounds. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by the molecular structure and the interactions between the substituents and the naphthalene core. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.

1131-53-9: 2-Methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene, Naphthalene, 2-methoxy-7-methyl-

2-Methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene is a methoxy, cyano, fluoro, chemically, thermodynamic, unsymmetrical, synthesize, photoisomerization, atropisomers, photocyclization and irradiation. This compound can be produced by the elimination of 2-methylnaphthalene with isopropyl alcohol. The elimination reaction is accelerated by light. This compound has been used to study photoisomerization and photocyclization reactions because it contains atropisomers that are formed when irradiated with ultraviolet light. 2-Methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene may also have applications as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent for rubber products.
