1-Chloronaphthalene is an aromatic compound. It is a colorless, oily liquid which may be used to determine the refractive index of crystals by immersion.http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/CH/1-chloronaphthalene.html Oxford MSDS 2008-12-21 2009-01-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20090113060651/http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/CH/1-chloronaphthalene.html dead The compound is an isomer to 2-chloronaphthalene.
Synthesis
1-Chloronaphthalene is obtained directly by chlorination of naphthalene, with the formation of more highly substituted derivatives such as dichloro- and trichloronaphthalenes in addition to the two monochlorinated isomeric compounds: 1-chloronaphthalene and 2-chloronaphthalene.Bavendamm W.

Applications
This toxic, nonpolar organochlorine compound is sometimes used as a powerful biocide, and is also known as Basileum. It occasionally serves as insecticide and fungicide in the timber floors of shipping containers, where it fulfills the same role as chlordane.
1-Chloronaphthalene was also used as a common solvent1-Chloronaphthalene http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sial/25320?lang=en®ion=RU Sigma Aldrich sigmaaldrich.com 14 June 2017 for oils, fats and DDT until the 1970s. It is also used to determine the refractive index of crystals.
