CHEMISTRY , ORGANIC). a-Nilronaphthalene, C16H7NO2, is formed by the direct nitration of naphthalene. For its commercial preparation see O. Witt, Die chemische Industrie, 1887, lo, p. 215. It crystallizes in yellow needles, which melt at 61 C., and are readily soluble in alcohol. By the action of nitro-sulphuric acid it is converted into a mixture of 1.5 and 1.8 dinitronaphthalenes (P. Friedlander, Be?'" 1899, 32, p. 3531). When heated with aniline and its salts it yields phenylrosindulin (German patent 67339 (1888)). 13-Nilronaphthalene is prepared by acting with ethyl
Sulphonic Acids.Two monosulphonic acids (a and ,e) result by acting with sulphuric acid on the hydrocarbon, the a-acid pre-dominating at low temperatures (8o C. and under) and the 0-acid at higher temperatures (170-200 C.). They are crystalline, hygroscopic compounds and are employed for the manufacture of the naphthols. Numerous di- and tri-sulphonic acids are known. a-Naphthoquinone, C10H602, resembles benzoquinone, and is formed by the oxidation of many a-derivatives of naphthalene with chromic acid. It crystallizes in yellow needles which melt at 125 C. It sublimes readily, is volatile in steam and reduces to the corresponding dihydroxynaphthalene. R Naphthoquinone is formed by oxidizing 2-amino-a-naphthol (from /3-naphthol-orange by reduction) with ferric chloride. It crystallizes in red needles, which melt at 115 C; it has no smell and is non-volatile (cf. phenanthrenequinone).Alizarin black,C10H4(OH)202NaHS03, the sodium bisulphite compound of 7.8 dioxy-anaphthoquinone, is a dyestuff used for printing on cotton
a-Naphthoic acid, C1oH7CO2H, is formed by hydrolysis of the nitrile, obtained by distilling potassiuma-naphthalene sulphonate with potassium cyanide

hydrolysis of its nitrile (formed when formyl-/3-naphthalide isheated with zinc dust), crystallizes from alcohol in needles which melt at 184 C. End of Article: CHEMISTRY If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
