General description

The asymmetric unit of the crystal of methyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate contains two independent planar molecules that exhibit intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. Methyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate can be prepared from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, via esterification.

Application

Methyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate may be used as a starting reagent for the synthesis of axially chiral benzimidazole derivatives.
It may also be employed in the synthesis of the following aza-mollugin derivatives:
  • azamollugin
  • 2-desmethyl-azamollugin
  • 2,2-didesmethyl-azamollugin
