1-Naphthoic acid is an organic compound with the formula C10H7CO2H. It is one of two isomeric monocarboxylic acids of naphthalene, the other one being 2-naphthoic acid. In general the hydroxynaphthoic acids are more widely used than the parent naphthoic acids.
Synthesis and reactions
1-Naphthoic acid can be prepared by carboxylation of the Grignard reagent generated from 1-bromonaphthalene.[1]
1-Naphthoic acid is a substrate for C-H activation reactions.[2]
Catalytic hydrogenation of 1-Naphthoic acid gives 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-naphthoic acid [1914-65-4]. This is used in the synthesis of Tetryzoline.
