2,7-Dihydroxynaphthalene is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T67338 and the CAS number is 582-17-2.

2,7-Dihydroxynaphthalene is a chemical compound that contains a naphthalene ring with two hydroxyl groups. It is an aromatic compound and its molecular formula is C 10 H 8 O 2 . The chemical structure of 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene consists of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups and a double bond. The reactivity of the hydroxyl group in 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene makes it useful in analytical chemistry as an indicator for detecting time. The hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl groups can be broken by adding potassium dichromate to form p-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA). This reaction mechanism is used for other reactions such as those catalyzed by enzymes. 2,7-Dihydroxynaphthalene has been synthesized by using trifluoroacetic acid and hydrogen gas in the presence of catalysts
