2-Aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
Grey white to light pink powder. 2-Aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid [81-16-3]. Tobias acid, C10H9NO3S, Mr 223.24, is sparingly soluble in water but the sodium salt is readily soluble. Coupling with diazo compounds takes place in the 1-position with elimination of the sulfonic acid group.
Uses
Azo dye intermediate, optical brighteners. Sulfonation with oleum gives 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, which can be desulfonated to produce 2-aminonaphthalene-5- sulfonic acid. Tobias acid is used as a diazo component in acid dyes (e.g., C.I. Acid Yellow 19), red reactive dyes, and pigments such as the important Lithol Reds, [e.g., C.I. Pigment Red 49]. The free acid of C.I. Pigment Red 49 is also remarkably insoluble and can be used as a pigment.
Uses
2-Amino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid has been used in the preparation of 2-(2-naphthylamino)benzoxazole by reacting with 2-chlorobenzoxazole.
Production Methods
2-Hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid is heated with a mixture of ammonia and ammonium sulfite in an autoclave at 150 ℃ and 1 MPa for 30 h. The reaction mixture is added to a slurry of lime, and excess ammonia is driven off. Inorganic calcium salts are filtered off at 80℃, and the filtrate is acidified with hydrochloric acid at 40℃ to precipitate Tobias acid in 95 % yield. Care must be taken throughout the process to avoid desulfonation and formation of 2- naphthylamine.
General Description
2-Amino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is a manufacturing intermediate in the monosulfo monoazo color additive D&C Red No. 34 and its lakes.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the acid under nitrogen from boiling water and dry it in a steam oven [Bryson Trans Faraday Soc 47 522, 527 1951]. [Beilstein 14 III 2240, 14 IV 2792.]
