Beta-naphthol [CAS#: 135-19-3] is a naphthalene derivative that is often used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various pigments and dyes. Beta-naphthol is also referred to as ß-naphthol or 2-naphthol, which differs from its isomer alpha-naphthol [CAS#: 90-15-3] by the position of the hydroxyl group on its structure. Both alpha- and beta-naphthol are soluble in simple solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. Parchem supplies beta-naphthol in its crystalline state for the production of dyes and in organic synthesis applications. Alpha- and beta-naphthol is also used as a precursor in the production of certain pharmaceutical products.
