Aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids

Aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids are compounds with the composition C10H6(NH2)(SO3H), being derived from naphthalene (C10H8) substituted by an amino and sulfonic acid groups. These compounds are colorless solids. They are useful precursors to dyes.[1]

Isomer CAS Registry Number Alternative names Preparative route, notes
1-Aminonaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid 84-86-6 Piria’s acid, naphthionic acid sulfonation of 1-aminonaphthalene, precursor to acid red 25, C.I. food red 3, C.I. food red 7, C.I. food red 9, and C.I.
1-Aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonic acid 84-89-9 Laurent’s acid, L acid, Purpurin acid reduction of 1-nitronaphthalene-5-sulfonic acid. With NaOH, converts to 5-amino-1-naphthol ("purpurol").
1-Aminonaphthalene-6-sulfonic acid 119-79-9 1,6-Cleve’s acid (named after swedish chemist Per Teodor Cleve) sulfonation of 1-aminonaphthalene
1-Aminonaphthalene-7-sulfonic acid 119-28-8 1,7-Cleve’s acid by-product in production of 1,6-Cleve’s acid, precursor to C.I. Acid Black 36
1-Aminonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid 82-75-7 Peri acid reduction of 1-nitroonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid, precursor to C.I. Acid Blue 113

Notes: Peri-acid dehydrates to the sultam. Via the Bucherer reaction, heating periacid with anilinium salts gives the N-phenyl derivative, precursor to Acid Blue 113.
