Uses
Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate can be used for the purification and analysis of organic compounds or as a substrate for enzyme assays and DS 1-naphthaleneacetic acid sodium modified reagents. Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate is a kind of biological materials or organic compounds that are widely used in life science research[1].
Definition
ChEBI: 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid sodium salt is an organic molecular entity.
Production Methods
Commercial production of 1 naphthylacetic acid sodium salt follows the same fine chemical manufacturing route used for its parent compound, 1 naphthylacetic acid. Industrial synthesis begins with preparation of the naphthalene based acetic acid intermediate, which is then neutralised with sodium hydroxide under controlled aqueous or mixed solvent conditions to form the sodium salt.
Mechanism of action
Absorbed through roots, stems and leaves, demonstrates auxin-like activity
