Overview | 2-naphthalene formaldehyde is an organic intermediate, belonging to aromatic aldehydes. As an important chemical raw material, aromatic aldehydes are widely used in many industrial fields such as medicine, fuel, perfume, pesticide and material. |
Use | for organic synthesis |
production method | dry hydrogen chloride is passed through a mixture of anhydrous tin dichloride and anhydrous diethyl ether, after saturation, a solution of 2-naphthonitrile in diethyl ether was added, and hydrogen chloride was added to saturation to form a yellow complex of aldiimide and stannic tetrachloride. The complex was distilled with water vapor, and the white solid product, namely, crude 2-naphthalene formaldehyde, was filtered from the distillate, and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a pure product with a yield of about 70%. |
