1- naphthylacetic acid is substituted with a naphthyl acetic acid, a carboxylic acid and thus one of the two possible positional isomers of the Naphthylessigsäuren. Like many other aromatic-substituted acetic acids it shows a auxinanaloge action in plants. Therefore, it is used as a synthetic plant hormone.
