1-Bromo-3-hydroxynaphthalene(cat: L026821) is a halogenated polycyclic aromatic compound featuring a bromine atom at the 1-position and a hydroxyl group at the 3-position of the naphthalene ring system. This dual-functionalized scaffold is highly useful in organic synthesis, particularly for cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira) and electrophilic substitution. The hydroxyl group provides additional versatility for etherification, esterification, or oxidation, enabling the synthesis of complex molecular frameworks. It is frequently employed in the development of dyes, organic semiconductors, and bioactive molecules. Supplied at high purity, 1-bromo-3-hydroxynaphthalene is ideal for use in medicinal chemistry, materials science, and fine chemical research.
