1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family, characterized by its two fused aromatic rings. It has the molecular formula C12H10 and features two methyl groups attached to the naphthalene structure at the 1 and 8 positions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and exhibits a characteristic aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its physical properties include a relatively high melting and boiling point, indicative of its stable aromatic structure. Additionally, it may exhibit moderate toxicity and should be handled with care in laboratory settings. As with many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, it is important to consider its environmental impact and potential health effects during use and disposal.

569-41-5: Naphthalene, 1,8-dimethyl-, 1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene

1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that belongs to the naphthalenes. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and boiling point of 135°C. 1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene has been shown to react with iron(II) in the presence of oxygen and water to produce Fe(III) oxide. This reaction proceeds via conformational changes in the molecule that allow it to act as a chelate ring. 1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene is soluble in polar solvents such as ethanol and ether. It also reacts with fatty acids to form dimethylnaphthalenes, which are used in the production of dyes and perfumes.
