Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (Cat No.:R000291) is an aromatic dialdehyde featuring two aldehyde groups positioned on the 2 and 3 carbons of the naphthalene ring. It is widely used as a fluorogenic reagent, particularly in biochemical and analytical applications for detecting primary amines, including amino acids and peptides. Upon reaction, NDA forms highly fluorescent isoindole derivatives, enabling sensitive fluorescence-based detection and quantification. It is commonly employed in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis. NDA is typically a yellow crystalline solid, soluble in organic solvents, and should be stored under dry, light-protected conditions.
