Methyl 7-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylate, identified by its CAS number 162514-08-1, is an organic compound characterized by its naphthalene structure, which consists of two fused aromatic rings. This compound features a carboxylate group (-COOCH3) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the naphthalene framework, specifically at the 2 and 7 positions, respectively. The presence of these functional groups contributes to its potential reactivity and solubility in various solvents. Methyl 7-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylate may exhibit properties typical of aromatic compounds, such as stability and the ability to undergo electrophilic substitution reactions. Its hydroxymethyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties like boiling and melting points. This compound may have applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. However, specific data regarding its toxicity, environmental impact, and detailed physical properties would require further investigation or experimental data.
