1-Naphthoic acid is an organic compound of the formula C₁₀H₇CO₂H. It is one of two isomeric monocarboxylic acids of naphthalene, the other one being 2-naphthoic acid. 1-Naphthoic acid is a frequent substrate for C-H activation reactions. In general the hydroxynaphthoic acids are far more useful than the parent. It can be prepared by carboxylation of the Grignard reagent generated from 1-Bromonaphthalene.
