2-Naphthol, or β-naphthol, is a fluorescent colorless crystalline solid with the formula C10H7OH. It is an
isomer of1-naphthol, differing by the location of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring.
The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol, but more reactive. Both isomers are soluble in
simple alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. 2-Naphthol is a widely used intermediate for the production
of dyes and other compounds.
Production
Traditionally, 2-naphthol is produced by a two-step process that begins with the
sulfonation of naphthalene in sulfuric acid:
C10H8 + H2SO4 → C10H7SO3H + H2O
The sulfonic acid group is then cleaved in molten sodium hydroxide:
C10H7(SO3H) + 3 NaOH → C10H7ONa + Na2SO3 + 2 H2O
Neutralization of the product with acid gives 2-naphthol.
2-Naphthol can also be produced by a method analogous to the cumene process.
Applications
Dyes
The Sudan dyes are popular dyes noted for being soluble in organic solvents. Several of the Sudan
dyes are derived from 2-naphthol by coupling with diazonium salts. Sudan dyes I -IV and Sudan
Red G consist of arylazo-substitutednaphthols.
Precursor to BINOL
They can be also used in the production of dyes and in organic synthesis. For example,
2-naphthol reacts to form BINOL.
Safety
Naphthols (both 1 and 2 isomers) are used as biomarkers for livestock and humans
exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
