Description General description 6-Cyano-2-naphthol (6CN2) is an aromatic alcohol that can be synthesized from 6-bromo-2-naphthol. It is a superphotoacid with the ground state pKa* value of 8.4 and excited state pKavalue of 0.2, respectively. 6CN2 protonates PANI-ES (polyaniline emeraldine salt) to form PANI-EB (emeraldine base), which shows enhanced conductivity. The proton-transfer kinetics and photophysical behavior of 6CN2 have been investigated. Application 6-Cyano-2-naphthol (6-Hydroxy-2-naphthonitrile, 2-cyano-6-naphthol) may be used in the preparation of: • 5-bromo-6-hydroxy-2-naphthonitrile • 5,7-dibromo-6-hydroxy-2-naphthonitrile • 5-chloro-6-hydroxy-2-naphthonitrile • 6-(2-imidazolyl)-2-naphthol • dodecaethylene glycol di-6-cyano-2-naphthyl ether • 6-cyano-2-naphthyl trifluoremethanesufonate • 2-(6-cyano-naphthyl)2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranoside • 1,5-bis(7-amidino-2-naphthalenoxy)-3-oxapentane dihydrochloride Reactant for: • Palladium-catalyzed reduction • Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions • Palladium-catalyzed Heck reactions Packaging 25 g in glass bottle
