Naphthalene is a chemical compound that functions as a precursor in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It acts as a starting material for the production of phthalic anhydride, which is used in the manufacturing of plasticizers, dyes, and resins. Naphthalene also serves as a reagent in the preparation of insecticides and fungicides, contributing to the development of these chemical compounds. At the molecular level, naphthalene undergoes various chemical reactions, including aromatic substitution and oxidation, to form the desired end products. Its mechanism of action involves participating in these chemical transformations, enabling the synthesis of a range of organic compounds with diverse industrial applications.
