white or pale yellow monoclinic crystals or fused crystals. Relative density (d20) 1.0058. Boiling point 241 °c. The freezing point was 34.5 °c. Refractive index 6019. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether and other organic solvents, flammable.
In the high temperature tar content of about 1.8%. With the washing oil in coal tar as raw material, after dephenolization and depyridinium alkali removal, the methyl naphthalene fraction at 240~245 ℃ was cut by rectification and frozen to -20 ℃. At this time, 2-methyl naphthalene was crystallized and precipitated. Then use sweating crystallization method or methanol, ethanol recrystallization refined, that is, the product.
in medicine for the preparation of vitamin K3, oxidation of p-naphthol, long-acting or short-acting oral contraceptives. Synthetic plant growth inhibitor in agriculture, DDT emulsifier; After sulfonation can be used as detergent, can also be used as fiber dyeing agent and wetting agent of raw materials.
