1-Naphthol

General description
1-Naphthol is a hydroxyl-aromatic compound. Its thermodynamic properties such as heat capacity, sublimation pressure, vapor pressure, enthalpies of combustion, formation and fusion have been estimated.[1] The decomposition of 1-naphthol in aqueous solutions on exposure to gamma radiation has been studied.[2] The ability of biochar of orange peels in adsorbing 1-naphthol from water has been investigated.[3] The activation energy and the reaction rate constant of the enzymatic polymerization of 1-naphthol using laccase have been reported.[4] It undergoes hydrogenation in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to form cis,cis 1-decalol.[5] This product is a certified reference material (CRM) certified to International Standards BS EN ISO / IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 under UKAS accreditation.
Application
1-Naphthol has been used as a prooxidant to analyze its ability to induce hemolysis in a zebrafish G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency model.[6] Legal Information
