1-Naphthaleneacetic acid potassium salt is a chemical compound that is known as potassium 1-naphthaleneacetate or Potassium NAA. This compound is a derivative of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), a plant hormone in the auxin family, where the acidic proton has been replaced with a potassium ion. As its name suggests, this compound is composed of a naphthalene ring, which is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon made up of two fused benzene rings, attached to an acetic acid moiety. The carboxylic acid group of the acetic acid portion has been ionized and is associated with a potassium ion, creating a salt. In terms of physical properties, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid potassium salt is typically seen as a white to off-white powder. It is soluble in water due to the presence of the potassium ion, and like other salts, it can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This compound is mainly used in agricultural and horticultural applications. It plays a significant role in plant growth regulation, influencing processes like cell division, elongation, and differentiation.
