1-Naphthalenecarboxylic acid, 4-cyano- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a cyano group attached to a naphthalene ring. This compound features a naphthalene backbone, which consists of two fused benzene rings, providing it with significant aromatic stability. The carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) contributes to its acidic properties, while the cyano group (-CN) introduces a polar character, enhancing its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate to high melting and boiling points due to the presence of strong intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding. Its chemical structure allows for various applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of both functional groups can facilitate further chemical modifications, making it a versatile intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
