General description

2-Methylnaphthalene belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found to be a major environmental contaminant. It can occur in high concentrations in a variety of commercial products including coal tar, crude oil, etc.

Application

2-Methylnaphthalene may be used to identify the analyte from thermal degradation of bituminous/anthracite coals, tyres, and cellulose samples using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

The upper pathway of anaerobic degradation of 2-methylnaphthalene was studied with a sulphate-reducing enrichment culture, which is able to grow with naphthalene or 2-methylnaphthalene as sole carbon source and electron donor. Anaerobic degradation of 2-methylnaphthalene is initiated by an addition

Anaerobic degradation of naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, and tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) was investigated with a sulfate-reducing enrichment culture obtained from a contaminated aquifer. Degradation studies with tetralin revealed 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid as a major metabolite indicating activation by addition of a C(1) unit to
