- Naphthalene - n. - A white crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon, C10H8, analogous to benzene, and obtained by the distillation of certain bituminous materials, such as the heavy oil of coal tar. It is the type and basis of a large number of derivatives among organic compounds. Formerly called also naphthaline.
- Naphthide - n. - A compound of naphthalene or its radical with a metallic element; as, mercuric naphthide.
- Chrysene - n. - One of the higher aromatic hydrocarbons of coal tar, allied to naphthalene and anthracene. It is a white crystalline substance, C18H12, of strong blue fluorescence, but generally colored yellow by impurities.
- Anthracene - n. - A solid hydrocarbon, C6H4.C2H2.C6H4, which accompanies naphthalene in the last stages of the distillation of coal tar. Its chief use is in the artificial production of alizarin.
- Phthalic - a. - Pertaining to, or designating, a dibasic acid obtained by the oxidation of naphthalene and allied substances.
- Naphthalic - a. - Pertaining to, derived from, or related to, naphthalene; -- used specifically to denote any one of a series of acids derived from naphthalene, and called naphthalene acids.
- Magdala - a. - Designating an orange-red dyestuff obtained from naphthylamine, and called magdala red, naphthalene red, etc.
- Naphthoquinone - n. - A yellow crystalline substance, C10H6O2, analogous to quinone, obtained by oxidizing naphthalene with chromic acid.
