Not specified

Tetralin is widely used as a high-boiling solvent in organic synthesis and chemical research, particularly in coal liquefaction processes where it acts as a hydrogen-donor reference compound. It is also employed in radical chemistry research due to its ability to stabilize radical intermediates. Additionally, tetralin finds applications in the production of specialty chemicals and as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, and adhesives. Its unique properties make it a valuable component in the development of new materials and chemical processes.
