Naphthalenedisulfonic acid dimethyl ester, with the CAS number 20779-13-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a naphthalene ring substituted with two sulfonic acid groups and two methyl ester groups. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of sulfonic acid groups that enhance its hydrophilicity. It exhibits properties typical of sulfonic acid derivatives, including potential applications as a surfactant, dispersant, or dye intermediate in various industrial processes. The presence of the naphthalene moiety contributes to its stability and potential for aromatic interactions. Additionally, naphthalenedisulfonic acid dimethyl ester may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and sulfonation, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
