Description

General description

2-Methyl-1-naphthylamine, also known as 1-Amino-2-methylnaphthalene, is an aromatic amine commonly used as a building block in various reaction, including the synthesis of iron (II) chloride complex. It also exhibits redox properties under strongly acidic conditions and can be electropolymerized to form oligomeric films.
