Description

1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 4,6,7-Trihydroxy- (9Ci) is a specialized, multi-hydroxylated naphthalene derivative with a reactive aldehyde functional group. This unique molecular structure makes it a valuable high-purity chemical intermediate for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical research and development teams, as well as in advanced material science and fine chemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds with naphthalene-based scaffolds.
• Organic Synthesis Research: Used in academic and industrial R&D laboratories for constructing complex polycyclic structures and exploring new chemical reactions.
• Ligand and Chelator Precursor: The hydroxyl and aldehyde groups make it a suitable starting material for synthesizing specialized ligands used in catalysis or metal complexation.
• Dye and Pigment Intermediate: Acts as a precursor in the development of advanced colorants and functional dyes due to its conjugated aromatic system.
• Material Science: Potential use in the synthesis of organic electronic materials or as a monomer for specialty polymers.

Quality Control

Our 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 4,6,7-Trihydroxy- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistent performance as a critical intermediate. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant.
