(CAS:1321-94-4) is an important organic chemistry, which is widely used in various of  raw material for organic synthesis of drugs fields.

1. Store Methylnaphthalene in tightly sealed vessels below 25 ℃ in dry dark surroundings to retard autoxidation of the naphthalene aromatic framework.
2. Cut down frequent opening of Methylnaphthalene packaging to prevent color deepening and impurity formation from prolonged contact with air oxygen.
3. Isolate Methylnaphthalene from potent oxidants and concentrated acids to prevent electrophilic oxidation and ring cleavage reactions.

1. The methyl substituent of Methylnaphthalene supplies active reaction sites for alkylation, sulfonation and other derivatization synthetic reactions.
2. The bicyclic aromatic skeleton of Methylnaphthalene possesses outstanding thermal stability and high boiling point for high-temperature heat transfer medium application.
3. Methylnaphthalene has favorable dissolving capacity for resins, rubber and various organic compounds to prepare high-efficiency industrial solvents.

1. Prevent inhalation of Methylnaphthalene vapor and mist; wear gas masks, splash-proof goggles and chemical resistant gloves during operation.
2. Methylnaphthalene causes irritation to skin, eye tissues and respiratory tract; rinse contacted parts with copious running water for 15 minutes after splashing.
3. Waste liquid and solid residues containing Methylnaphthalene need to be handled complying with polycyclic aromatic hazardous waste disposal specifications.
