Naphthalenes

2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid sodium is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of naphthalene sulfonic acids. It is used in the production of medicines and as an industrial chemical. 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid sodium has been shown to inhibit the viscosity of blood capillaries and has been proposed for use in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. This compound also reduces the permeability of cell membranes by binding to fatty acids, which has led it to be studied for its potential effects on prostate cancer. 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid sodium has been shown to have a Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to the enzyme ft-ir spectroscopy and can be used as a reagent for cationic surfactants. 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid sodium is soluble in water, but insoluble in hydrochloric acid or solvents such as chloroform or acetone.

1-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of carboxylic acids. It is used in the treatment of malonic acidemia and as a reagent for the structural analysis of organic compounds. 1-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid has been shown to react with protonated malonic acid in a synchronous fluorescence experiment. The reaction mechanism involves an intramolecular hydrogen transfer from the carboxylate group to the naphthalene ring, leading to formation of a methyl ethyl cation. This cation can then either react with another malonic acid molecule or be deprotonated by water, depending on pH and concentration. 1-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid has also shown photochemical properties and can be used for wastewater treatment due to its ability to degrade organic pollutants such as phenols and amines.

2-Naphthol can be used as a fluorescent indicator. It can be also used in the production of dyes and in organic synthesis.
