Infobox references

2-Methylnaphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Several enzyme biodegrate 2-Naphthalene in anaerobic condition. [1][2]

On February 22, 2014, NASA announced a greatly upgraded database[3][4] for detecting and monitoring PAHs, including 2-Methylnaphthalene, in the universe. According to NASA scientists, over 20% of the carbon in the universe may be associated with PAHs, possible starting materials for the formation of life.[3] PAHs seem to have been formed shortly after the Big Bang, are abundant in the universe,[5][6][7] and are associated with new stars and exoplanets.[3]
