Naphthalenes

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of naphthalenes for use in various applications. Naphthalenes, a class of aromatic hydrocarbons characterized by their two fused benzene rings, are fundamental in numerous scientific research areas. These compounds are essential in studying aromaticity, a core concept in organic chemistry, due to their stable ring structure. They serve as key intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, polymers, and other organic materials, making them indispensable in materials science research. Naphthalenes are also utilized in environmental studies to understand the behavior and fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ecosystems, as they often serve as model compounds due to their relatively simple structure compared to more complex PAHs. Furthermore, in analytical chemistry, naphthalenes are used as standard substances for calibrating instruments like gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers, ensuring accurate measurement of volatile organic compounds. Their unique chemical properties, including the ability to undergo various chemical transformations, make them valuable in the synthesis and development of new chemical entities for industrial applications.
