2-萘基萘（2VNP）可以通过将萘烷基化为 I- 和 2-乙基萘，然后脱氢，或通过氧化然后脱水来制备。2VNP 是聚（2-乙烯基萘）的单体。 2-乙烯基萘用于合成各种共聚物，如聚（苯乙烯磺酸钠-co-2-乙烯基萘）共聚物和聚（2-乙烯基萘-马来酸）-接枝-聚苯乙烯。后者可用作 用于聚苯乙烯乳胶的光活性聚合物胶束和稳定剂。 2-Vinylnaphthalene (2VNP) can be prepared by the alkylation of naphthalene to I-and 2 ethylnapthalenes followed by dehydrogenation, or by oxidation followed by dehydration. 2VNP is the monomer for poly-(2-vinylnapthalene). 2-Vinylnaphthalene is employed in the synthesis of various copolymers such as Poly (sodium styrenesulfonate-co-2-vinyl-napthalene) copolymer and Poly (2-vinylnapthalene-alt-maleic acid)-graft-polystyrene.The latter finds applications as a photoactive polymer micelle and stabilizer for polystyrene latexes.
