2-Naphthoic acid is an unprotected acid undergoes lithiation, e.g. with s-BuLi, by stereospecific 1,4-addition, providing a facile route to 1,2,2-trisubstituted 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The fluorescence spectra and electronic absorption of 2-naphthoic acid was studied.

2-Naphthoic acid

2-Naphthoic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of aromatic compounds. It can be found in many natural products, such as plants and animals. 2-Naphthoic acid has been shown to inhibit the activity of G protein-coupled receptors, which are involved in signal transduction. The crystal structure of 2-naphthoic acid is polymorphic and there are two possible structures: p1 and p2. Each form has different chemical properties, including reactivity with hydrogen bonds, which may lead to different biological effects.

Applications 2-Naphthalenecarboxylic Acid has been studied for its structure-activity relationship for allosteric NMDA receptor inhibitors for potential development of NMDA receptor modulator agents for a variety of neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.
