2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is an
organic compound In chemistry, organic compounds are generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon- hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. Th ...
with the formula C10H6(CO2H)2. This colorless solid is one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. It is a precursor to the high performance polyester
polyethylene naphthalate Polyethylene naphthalate (poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) or PEN) is a polyester derived from naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and ethylene glycol. As such it is related to poly(ethylene terephthalate), but with superior barrier properties. Pro ...
(PEN, poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate)). It is also used in the synthesis of some metal-organic frameworks.


Preparation

The conjugate base of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, when heated, isomerizes to the 1,6-isomer, which is readily converted to 1,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. It is also produced by oxidation of
2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene 2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) is an organic compound with the formula C10H6(i-Pr)2 (where i-Pr = isopropyl). 2,6-DIPN is one of several isomers of diisopropylnaphthalene. It is a white or colorless solid.. 2,6-DIPN is plant growth regulat ...
