Naphthalene5
It is an isomer of 2-naphthol differing by the location of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring. (wikipedia.org)
The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol, with the hydroxyl group being more reactive than in the phenols. (wikipedia.org)
In one method, naphthalene is nitrated to give 1-nitronaphthalene, which is hydrogenated to the amine followed by hydrolysis: C10H8 + HNO3 → C10H7NO2 + H2O C10H7NO2 + 3H2 → C10H7NH2 + 2H2O C10H7NH2 + H2O → C10H7OH + NH3 Alternatively, naphthalene is hydrogenated to tetralin, which is oxidized to 1-tetralone, which undergoes dehydrogenation.
