2-Naphthyl butyrate (2-NB) holds significant importance in the realm of synthetic organic chemistry. This versatile compound presents itself as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It plays a role as a reagent in diverse analytical methods. 2-Naphthyl serves as a fundamental starting material for the synthesis of compounds like butyric acid esters and amides. Moreover, 2-Naphthyl butyrate proves invaluable as a reagent for the analysis of compounds such as fatty acids and other lipids. In organic chemistry, 2-Naphthyl butyrate functions as a reagent, participating in various organic reactions. In the esterification process, the acid catalyst protonates the alcohol group present in naphthol, rendering it more nucleophilic and enabling its reaction with butyric acid to yield the desired ester. Similarly, in condensation reactions, the acid catalyst protonates the anhydride group of butyric anhydride, enhancing its nucleophilicity and facilitating its reaction with naphthol to form the desired ester.
