    8. It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass. [15] As an aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene's structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings. It is the main ingredient of traditional mothballs.

  3. 2-Naphthol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Naphthol

    2-Naphthol, or β-naphthol, is a fluorescent colorless (or occasionally yellow) crystalline solid with the formula C 10 H 7 OH. It is an isomer of 1-naphthol, differing by the location of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring. The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol, but more reactive.

  4. 1-Naphthol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-naphthol

    1-Naphthol, or α-naphthol, is a organic compound with the formula C10H7OH. It is a fluorescent white solid. 1-Naphthol differs from its isomer 2-naphthol by the location of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring. The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol. Both isomers are soluble in simple organic solvents.

  5. Friedel–Crafts reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedel–Crafts_reaction

    The reaction proceeds through generation of an acylium center. The reaction is completed by deprotonation of the arenium ion by AlCl 4 −, regenerating the AlCl 3 catalyst. However, in contrast to the truly catalytic alkylation reaction, the formed ketone is a moderate Lewis base, which forms a complex with the strong Lewis acid aluminum ...

  6. Phthalic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalic_anhydride

    The naphthalene route (the Gibbs phthalic anhydride process or the Gibbs–Wohl naphthalene oxidation reaction) has declined relative to the o-xylene route. Proposed early steps in vanadium -catalyzed oxidation of naphthalene to phthalic anhydride, with V 2 O 5 represented as a molecule versus its true extended structure.

  7. Peri-naphthalenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-naphthalenes

    The peri-naphthalene 1-amino-naphthalene-8-sulfonic acid is a precursor to other peri-naphthalenes. It is prepared by nitration of naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid followed by reduction. Diazotization followed by loss of N 2 gives the naphtho sulfone. This species reacts with NaOH to give sequentially 1-hydroxynaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid and then ...

  8. Naphtha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha

    Naphtha. Naphtha (/ ˈnæpθə / or / ˈnæfθə /) is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Generally, it is a fraction of crude oil, but it can also be produced from natural-gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and the fractional distillation of coal tar and peat. In some industries and regions, the name naphtha refers to crude oil or ...

  9. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings. The simplest representative is naphthalene, having two aromatic rings, and the three-ring compounds anthracene and phenanthrene. PAHs are uncharged, non-polar and planar. Many are colorless.
