1-Naphthol is used as a precursor in the manufacturing of various azo dyes and pharmaceuticals such as nadolol. It is used as biomarkers. It is used in analytical chemistry as Molisch’s reagent (1-naphthol dissolved in ethanol) for checking the presence of carbohydrates. It plays an essential role with sodium hypobromite to detect the presence of arginine in proteins, which is called as Sakaguchi test.
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.
Aplicaciones
El 1-naftol se utiliza como precursor en la fabricación de diversos colorantes azoicos y productos farmacéuticos como el nadolol. Se utiliza como biomarcador. Se utiliza en química analítica como reactivo de Molisch (1-naftol disuelto en etanol) para comprobar la presencia de carbohidratos. Desempeña un papel esencial con el hipobromito de sodio para detectar la presencia de arginina en las proteínas, lo que se llama prueba de Sakaguchi.
