1-Chloronaphthalene was used as solvent additive in the fabrication of fullerene based photovoltaic devices. It was used in preparation of polyvinyl chloride based membranes of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinatocobalt(II) for arsenite determination. Also used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds such as aryl chlorides.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
