6-Methoxy-2-naphthaleneacetic acid(Cat No.:R006096), also known as Desmethyl Naproxen, is a naphthalene-based acetic acid derivative structurally related to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen. Lacking the methyl group on the α-carbon, it is often studied as a synthetic intermediate or metabolite in pharmaceutical research. The compound retains the carboxylic acid and methoxy functionalities that contribute to anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. It is typically used in the development of NSAID analogs or in structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies. Desmethyl Naproxen is generally provided as a crystalline solid, soluble in organic solvents.
