Application

6-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid may be used in the synthesis of 5-bromo-6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and liquid-crystalline epoxy resins.

General description

6-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is a hydroxynaphthoic acid derivative. Whole cells of the recombinant Escherichia coli strain expressing CYP199A2 were reported to catalyze the regioselective oxidation of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid to afford 6,7-dihydroxynaphthoic acid. It can form co-crystals with caffeine.

A group of caffeine-containing co-crystals of hydroxy-2-naphthoic acids were synthesized and analyzed via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and IR analysis. The imidazole-carboxylic acid synthon was observed in co-crystals involving 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. In the case of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, the co-crystal

CYP199A2, a bacterial P450 monooxygenase from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, was found to exhibit oxidation activity towards three hydroxynaphthoic acids. Whole cells of the recombinant Escherichia coli strain expressing CYP199A2 efficiently catalyzed the regioselective oxidation of 1-, 3-, and 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acids to
