Alpha-Naphthyl Palmitate, also known as alpha-Naphthyl hexadecanoate, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of naphthalene derivatives. It is derived from the combination of alpha-naphthylamine and palmitic acid. Alpha-Naphthyl Palmitate is primarily used as a substrate in enzymatic assays to measure the activity of esterases, particularly in research related to lipase enzymes. It undergoes hydrolysis by esterases, resulting in the formation of alpha-naphthol.
