NAPHTHALENE FOR SYNTHESIS
Description
There are five steps involved in the formation of naphthalene by Haworth synthesis.
These are Friedel craft acylation, Clemmenson's reaction, heating the compound, Clemmenson reaction, and dehydrogenation.
Application
Application
Naphthalene is used mainly as a precursor to other chemicals. The single largest use of naphthalene is the industrial production of phthalic anhydride, although more phthalic anhydride is made from o-xylene.
Many azo dyes are produced from naphthalene, and so is the insecticide 1-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate (carbaryl).
