Definition
1-naphthoate, also known as 1-naphthoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as naphthalenecarboxylic acids. Naphthalenecarboxylic acids are compounds containing a naphthalene moiety, which bears a carboxylic acid group one or more positions. Naphthalene is a bicyclic compound that is made up of two fused benzene ring. 1-naphthoate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-naphthoate can be found in a number of food items such as coconut, mountain yam, broad bean, and kombu, which makes 1-naphthoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as naphthalenecarboxylic acids. Naphthalenecarboxylic acids are compounds containing a naphthalene moiety, which bears a carboxylic acid group one or more positions. Naphthalene is a bicyclic compound that is made up of two fused benzene ring.
