BETA-NAPHTHYL BUTYRATE

2-naphthyl butyrate is a butyrate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of butyric acid with the hydroxy group of 2-naphthol. It has a role as a chromogenic compound. It is a member of naphthalenes, a butyrate ester and an aromatic ester. It derives from a 2-naphthol.

General procedure: A mixture of phenol 1 (0.50 mmol), Na2CO3 (10.6 mg, 0.10mmol, 20 molpercent), and alkenyl carboxylate (2.0 mmol, 4.0 equiv)in MeCN (3 mL) was added to a Schlenk flask (25 mL) and stirredat r.t. The mixture was stirred at 120 °C until the reaction wasfinished. Then, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressureand the residue was purified by column chromatography(petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 20:1 to 10:1) to afford theproduct 3.
