Naphthalenes

(R)-1,1'-Bi-2-Naphthol is an organic compound that is made from the hydrogenation of 2-naphthol. The sodium salts of this compound are chiral and can be used to synthesize racemic mixtures with a high degree of optical purity. The x-ray crystal structures of (R)-1,1'-Bi-2-Naphthol have been studied in detail and show that this molecule exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. It also has a steric interaction with the amine group which prevents rotation about the C3-C4 bond. Other interesting features include intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between the hydroxyl group and the alkanoic acid. This molecule also has a hydrophobic region consisting of three methyl groups that are connected to fatty acids.
