2-Methoxynaphthalene, also called β-naphthol methyl ether or yara yara,[2] is a stabilizer found in gunpowder, particularly smokeless gunpowders. It is soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in water and dipropylene glycol.

Studies have also been done on the antiinflammatory effect of β-naphthol methyl ether[3] and on how it behaves in time-resolved resonance Raman studies.[4]

Synthesis and uses

Nerolin can be prepared by alkylation of β-naphthol with dimethyl sulfate. It has a faint but persistent odor and used to be a scented compound found in soap and other products.[5]
