6-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde; CAS No.: 78119-82-1; 6-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde. PROPERTIES: This hydroxy-substituted naphthaldehyde features molecular formula C??H?O? with molecular weight 176.18 g/mol. Exists as a crystalline solid. Soluble in non-polar solvents like hexanes and dichloromethane. Melting point approximately 100-105 C. Exhibits IR absorption for aldehyde and hydroxyl groups. Thermogravimetric analysis shows decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. Store at 2-8 C in sealed containers. May cause severe skin burns and eye damage. APPLICATIONS: As a naphthaldehyde derivative, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde is used in agrochemical synthesis. The aldehyde group undergoes cyclization to form five-membered heterocycles. Also used in fluorescent probe synthesis, enabling conjugation via Schiff base formation. In materials science, it enhances thermal stability in polyaryl ethers due to hydroxy substituents.
