Is 2-Butoxynaphthalene the same as butyl beta-naphthyl ether?

Yes. 2-Butoxynaphthalene, butyl 2-naphthyl ether and butyl beta-naphthyl ether identify CAS 10484-56-7. Confirm the 2-substitution pattern because 1-butoxynaphthalene and ethers made with branched butyl groups are different substances and may not be resolved by a generic name.

Which controls should be specified for 2-Butoxynaphthalene?

Define chromatographic assay, 1-isomer and other organic impurities, residual 2-naphthol, residual butanol or alkylating agent, water, color, odor and melting or physical-form range. State the application and quantity so the offered batch and packaging can be checked against the required profile.

2-Butoxynaphthalene CAS 10484-56-7

2-Butoxynaphthalene, also called butyl 2-naphthyl ether or butyl beta-naphthyl ether, CAS 10484-56-7, EC 233-998-3, is the n-butyl ether of 2-naphthol with molecular formula C₁₄H₁₆O and molecular weight 200.28 g/mol. It should be distinguished from 1-butoxynaphthalene and from ethers made with branched butyl groups. Procurement controls should cover identity, GC assay, positional and alkyl isomers, residual 2-naphthol, residual butanol or halide, solvent, water, color and physical form.

CAS: 10484-56-7
Synonyms: 2-Butoxynaphthalene, Butyl beta-naphthyl ether, 2-Naphthyl butyl ether, Butyl 2-naphthyl ether

Identity and physicochemical profile

Item	Technical guidance
Product identity	2-Butoxynaphthalene; butyl beta-naphthyl ether
CAS / EC	10484-56-7 / 233-998-3
Formula / molecular weight	C₁₄H₁₆O / 200.28 g/mol
Identity boundary	n-Butyl ether at the 2-naphthyl position; not 1-butoxynaphthalene or a branched-butyl isomer
Key purchase controls	Identity, GC assay, positional and alkyl isomers, residual 2-naphthol, residual reagents, solvent, water, color and physical form

Applications and grade selection

2-Butoxynaphthalene may be evaluated as a fine-chemical intermediate or hydrophobic aromatic ether in synthesis and materials research. End-use suitability should be supported by impurity, color, thermal and process testing rather than a broad application label.

Use a chromatographic method capable of separating positional and butyl-structure isomers.
Set limits for residual 2-naphthol, butanol or halide, solvent, water and color.
Check melting or physical form, dissolution and downstream impurity carryover in a representative trial.

Storage and handling

Keep sealed in compatible packaging away from heat, oxidizers and direct light under the current SDS. Protect the material from contamination and record sampling history during the approved retest period.

Safety, documentation and procurement

Use suitable ventilation, gloves and eye protection. Procurement should define identity method, impurity limits, quantity, physical-form needs, package, destination, schedule and required documents.
