1-naphthylamine is a derivative of naphthalene . It belongs to the group of aromatic amino compounds . In addition to 1-naphthylamine, there is also the isomer 2-naphthylamine , which harbors considerable health risks.

Extraction and presentation

Historical

Nikolay Zinin received 1-naphthylamine (he Naphtalidam called) from 1-nitronaphthalene by reduction with ammonium sulfide .

Technically

It is obtained on an industrial scale by nitrating naphthalene with nitrating acid ( nitric acid with sulfuric acid ) to give 1-nitronaphthalene in a discontinuous stirred tank. After separation, the nitronaphthalene is reduced to 1-naphthylamine with iron .

use

1-Naphthylamine is used for the synthesis of azo dyes and herbicides, aminonaphthalene sulfonic acids, -naphthol and N- phenyl-1-naphthylamine (an antioxidant for rubber). It is also used to detect nitrite with Lunge's reagent .

Reaction scheme for the reaction of the lung reagent with nitrite. By adding 2-3 drops of lung I and II, the sulfanilic acid  ( 1 ) first forms a diazonium salt  ( 2 ), which further reacts with 1-naphthylamine ( 3 ) to form an azo dye  ( 4 ) and quickly turns the solution red .
