1-Acetoxy-2-methylnaphthalene, with the CAS number 5697-02-9, is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family. It features an acetoxy group (-OCOCH3) attached to the naphthalene structure, specifically at the 1-position, while a methyl group (-CH3) is located at the 2-position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene backbone. 1-Acetoxy-2-methylnaphthalene is primarily used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Its properties include moderate volatility and potential reactivity, making it important in chemical reactions involving electrophilic aromatic substitution. As with many aromatic compounds, it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling and use.
