It is an ester derivative of 2-naphthaleneacetic acid, where the carboxylic acid group is esterified with a pentyl alcohol group. 2-naphthaleneacetic acid, pentyl ester is known for its plant growth regulator properties, particularly as an auxin-like substance. It is used in agriculture to promote growth, rooting, and fruit development in various plant species. The ester form of the acid is more lipophilic, which can enhance its absorption and transport within plants. It is also used in some pharmaceutical applications and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. The compound is typically synthesized through the reaction of 2-naphthaleneacetic acid with pentanol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2876-67-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,8,7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2876-67: (6*2)+(5*8)+(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*6)+(1*7)=117 117 % 10 = 7 So 2876-67-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
