2-Naphthol or β-naphthol is a fluorescent colorless crystalline solid with the formula C10H7OH. It is an isomer of 1-naphthol differing by the location of the hydroxyl group on naphthalene. The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol with the hydroxyl group being more reactive than in the phenols. Both isomers are soluble in simple alcohols ethers and chloroform.
