2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is mainly used for the preparation of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid by oxidation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene in the liquid phase. 2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is a monomer for the production of high-performance polymers, in particular poly (ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) or shorter polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). [4]
It was first prepared by Robert Evert and Victor Merz in 1876 by hydrolysis of 2,6-dicyanonaphthalene. [2] [3] 1,8-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid can be isomerized to 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid via the intermediacy of the dipotassium dicarboxylates. [2] It is also produced by oxidation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene. [4]
Shulgin explains in his book that DMMDA has 6 isomers similar to TMA. [1] DMMDA-2 is the only other isomer that has been synthesized as of yet. DMMDA-3 could be made from exalatacin (1-allyl-2,6-dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene). Exalatacin can be found in the essential oil of both Crowea exalata and Crowea angustifolia var. angustifolia.

A solution of lithium naphthalenide, the lithium salt of naphthalene, in tetrahydrofuran. The alkali metal naphthalene salts are prepared by stirring the metal with naphthalene in an ethereal solvent, usually as tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane. The resulting salt is dark green. [2] [3] [4] The anion is a radical, giving a strong EPR signal ...
Alkyl sulfones may be reduced with sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia; [11] however, the strongly basic conditions of these dissolving metal reductions represent a significant disadvantage. In alcoholic solvents, magnesium metal and a catalytic amount of mercury (II) chloride may be used. [ 12 ]
DMMDA-2 is a bioactive phenethylamine discussed by Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved); however, he was not the first to synthesize it. [1] Shulgin comments in his book that a 50 milligram dose of DMMDA-2 produces similar effects to 3,4-methylenedioxy-1-α-methylphenylethylamine . [ 1 ]
Naphthalenesulfonates are derivatives of sulfonic acid which contain a naphthalene functional unit. A related family of compounds are the aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids.Of commercial importance are the alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, which are used as superplasticizers in concrete.
DMCM (methyl 6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylate) is a drug from the β-carboline family that induces anxiety and convulsions by acting as a negative allosteric modulator of GABA A receptors — functionally opposite to benzodiazepines and related drugs which are positive allosteric modulators — and is used in scientific research for these properties to test new anxiolytic and ...
