Applications
2-Naphthaldehyde (CAS: 66-99-9) plays an important role in both the pharmaceutical and fragrance industries.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): It is a key starting material for the synthesis of nabumetone, a widely used anti-inflammatory and analgesic used to treat arthritis.
Other drug development: Used in the synthesis of naphthalene derivatives with antifungal or antitumor activity.
It has a soft orange blossom and bitter almond-like aroma and is often used as a fixative or in blending floral fragrances such as orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose. It is also used in soaps and detergents.
Used as a precursor for the synthesis of Schiff base ligands and optoelectronic functional materials (such as electroluminescent materials).
