2-Naphthol
2-Naphthol is an aromatic hydroxyl-functional chemical substance identified by its named structure.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
2-Naphthol, or β-naphthol, is a fluorescent colorless (or occasionally yellow) crystalline solid with the formula C10H7OH.2-Naphthol as an important organic raw material is mainly used in the production of dyes and organic pigments and intermediates can be derived from a variety of important dye intermediates such as 2,3 acid, tobias acid, J acid, R acid, G acid, amino J acid, etc. In addition, 2-Naphthol is also used in the synthesis of rubber additives, pharmaceuticals, liquid crystal materials, etc.
The full named identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay basis, impurity profile and supplied form define 2-Naphthol. Material qualification and downstream formulation acceptance are distinct requirements; report segmentation is not a supplier specification.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which supplied interfaces and acceptance criteria define 2-Naphthol?
The full named identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay basis, impurity profile and supplied form define 2-Naphthol. Material qualification and downstream formulation acceptance are distinct requirements; report segmentation is not a supplier specification.
