CAS NO.: 150712-58-6;7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl acetate. PROPERTIES: This methoxynaphthalene ester presents as a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 222.2 g/mol. The 7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl acetate combines a methoxynaphthalene ring with an acetate ester, exhibiting limited aqueous solubility but good dissolution in organic solvents like ethyl acetate and methanol. Stability testing reveals sensitivity to hydrolysis under basic conditions and light exposure, necessitating storage at 2-8 degree Celsius in amber glass containers. Handlers should use powder hoods with HEPA filtration and wear cut-resistant gloves during handling. Skin contact may cause mild irritation requiring thorough washing. Inhalation may induce respiratory tract irritation; treatment includes fresh air and medical evaluation. Eye exposure requires extended rinsing and possible corticosteroid application. Waste should be hydrolyzed with dilute acid prior to disposal. APPLICATIONS: The 7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl acetate serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals (excluding agricultural applications). Its methoxynaphthalene framework provides opportunities for constructing complex aromatic systems through Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Research teams utilize this compound as a starting material for creating fluorescent probes and bioimaging agents. The acetate ester undergoes hydrolysis to carboxylic acids or reduction to alcohols for further functionalization. Additionally, it serves as a building block for creating GABA receptor modulators and serotonin receptor agonists.
