Description

7-Hydroxy-Naphthalene-2-Carbonitrile is a versatile naphthalene derivative that serves as a key synthetic intermediate in advanced organic chemistry. Its value lies in the strategic combination of a reactive cyano group and a phenolic hydroxyl group on the naphthalene scaffold, enabling its use in the construction of complex molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and agrochemical producers for applications in drug discovery, material science, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those with naphthalene-based structures.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Serves as a precursor for the development of high-performance dyes, optical brighteners, and organic pigments.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the creation of novel organic electronic materials, liquid crystals, and polymers.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent for heterocyclic chemistry and the development of new synthetic methodologies in academic and industrial settings.
• Fluorescent Probe Synthesis: Used as a starting material for constructing molecular probes and sensors used in biochemical assays and diagnostics.

Quality Control

Our 7-Hydroxy-Naphthalene-2-Carbonitrile is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
