Dimethyl 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate（Cat No.:L045156）is an aromatic diester derived from 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, where both carboxylic acid groups are esterified with methyl groups. This compound features a rigid, planar naphthalene ring system, making it valuable in the synthesis of high-performance polymers such as polyesters and liquid crystalline polymers. It is a key monomer in producing polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), which offers superior thermal stability and barrier properties compared to PET. Its symmetrical structure and chemical reactivity make it ideal for applications in materials science, coatings, and engineering plastics requiring enhanced mechanical strength and durability.
