CAS 53440-12-3: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (1,2,3,4-THN) is an organic acid that can be metabolized by debromination or trifluoroacetic acid. It is a precursor for the synthesis of 5-caffeoylquinic acid and other biologically active compounds. 1,2,3,4-THN has been shown to have inhibitory effects on cancer cells. It also has chemical compositions including hydroxy groups and borohydride reduction sites that are important in its efficient method of synthesis.

Applications 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2-naphthoic Acid is used as a reagent in organic synthesis of several compounds including that of N-acyl-5-methyl-3(2H)-isoxazolone derivatives which show high potential as fungicides. References Miyake, T., et al.: J. Pestic. Sci., 37, 89 (2012);
