2-Methoxynaphthalene from 2-Naphthol
The methylation of 2-naphthol to prepare 2-methoxynaphthalene. Two different procedures are demonstrated in this video, one from Vogel with dimethyl sulfate and the other with methyl iodide (iodomethane) using a general (and somewhat lazy) Williamson ether synthesis. 2-Methoxynaphthalene is used as a pleasant-smelling perfume ingredient and a chemical building block. Preparation of 2-naphthol from naphthalene: • 2-Naphthol Synthesis from Naphthalene 0:00 - Dimethyl Sulfate methylation 5:17 - Methyl Iodide methylation 7:28 - Deposition of 2-methoxynaphthalene & outro / corrosion
