1-Methoxynaphthalene is used in the study of peroxygenase activity of cytochrome c peroxidase. It is used as a precursor to synthesize prenyl naphthalene-ols, which shows antioxidative activity.
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.
