2-Naphthol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties2-Naphthol is a white, crystalline solid. Slight phenolic odor. Darkens in air and on exposure to light. 2-Naphthol [135-19-3] b-naphthol, 2- naphthalenol, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, C10H8O, Mr 144.16, forms colorless plates upon sublimation, which darken on exposure to air or light. Unlike 1-naphthol it is nonvolatile in steam. 2-Naphthol is reduced with sodium or with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to give mainly 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthol (unlike 1- naphthol which gives the arylphenol under the same conditions). 
Physical propertiesWhite glossy flakes or white powder. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, glycerol and alkali solution.
UsesHas been used as antiseptic, anthelmintic and counter-irritant in alopecia.
Uses2-Naphthol is used in the manufacture of dyes, perfumes, and medicinal organics, and in the production of antioxidants for synthetic rubber.
Preparation2-Naphthol is produced bycaustic fusion of naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid. Typically, the sodium salt of thesulfonic acid is added gradually to 50 % sodiumhydroxide liquor at 300℃; the melt is thenheated further at 320℃ in a gas-fired iron vesselwith vigorous agitation. After completion of thereaction, the melt is run into excess water, possibly including filtrate from the previous batch at aproven tolerable level, and the naphtholate solution is neutralized to pH 8 with dilute sulfuricacid. If the temperature is maintained at >100℃ during neutralization, the crude product comesout of solution as an oil, which is separated,washed with hot water, and distilled under vacuum to give pure 2-naphthol. The molten materialis processed through a flaker to give the finalproduct for packaging. The fusion yield is about80 % of the theoretical value, resulting in anoverall yield of 70 % based on naphthalene.Typical specifications for 2-naphthol are clearsolution in dilute caustic soda,  mp 120.5℃,and 1-naphthol content<0.3 %.
ApplicationIt is used to produce Tobias acid, J acid, 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and azo dyes, and it is the raw material for rubber antioxidants, mineral dressing agents, fungicides, antiseptics, preservatives, etc.
As feed preservative. In China, it can be used for citrus preservation, the maximum dosage amount is 0.1 g/kg and the residue amount should be no more than 70 mg/kg.
2-Naphthol, also called β-naphthol, 2-naphthalenol, is the intermediate for plant growth regulator, 2-naphthoxyacetic acid.
As analytic agent, absorbent of ethylene and carbon monoxide, and fluorescence indicator.
Important organic raw material and dye intermediate, used to produce Tobias acid, butyric acid, β-hydroxynaphthoic acid and used to produce N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine, Diafen NN and other antioxidant, organic pigments, and fungicides.
For the detection of bromine, chlorine, chlorate, niobium, copper, nitrite, and potassium. Substrate for fluorometric assay of phenol sulfotransferase. Acid and alkali indicator, dyes, organic synthesis, qualitative determination of allyl alcohol, methanol, chloroform, etc. Absorbent of carbon monoxide, ethanol, and fluorescence indicator. Determination of carbon monoxide, copper, nitrite, and potassium. Ethylene absorbent.
DefinitionChEBI: 2-naphthol is a naphthol carrying a hydroxy group at position 2. It has a role as an antinematodal drug, a genotoxin, a human xenobiotic metabolite, a mouse metabolite, a human urinary metabolite and a radical scavenger.
Reactions2-Naphthol is naphthalene homologues of phenol, with the hydroxyl group being more reactive than in the phenols.2-Naphthol converts to 2-naphthalenethiol by reaction with dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride via the Newman–Kwart rearrangement.

General Description2-Naphthol is a hydroxyarene molecule, which when electronically excited forms strong acid. Excited 2-Naphthol dissociates only in water. It has a slight phenolic odor. It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. It is one of the most commonly used fluorescence dye.
Health HazardAlthough the toxicity of 2-naphthol is of low order in test animals, ingestion of large amounts may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, convulsions, and hemolytic anemia. Death may result from respiratory failure. The oral LD50 value in rats is in the range 2000 mg/kg. 2-Naphthol is slightly more toxic than 1-naphthol [9015-3], the oral LD50 value of which is in the range 2500 mg/kg.
Skin contact can produce peeling of the skin and pigmentation.
Fire HazardNoncombustible solid.
Chemical Reactivity2-naphthol can be oxidation with ferric chloride forms 2,20 -dihydroxy-1,10 -binaphthyl, with any blue coloration indicating the presence of 1- naphthol.
Air oxidation at 300℃ with a vanadium pentoxide catalyst also yields 1,10 -bi-2-naphthol, which dehydrates at higher temperature to the oxide and finally decomposes to give benzoic acid.
2-naphthol can reacte with phosphorus pentachloride at 150℃ gives 2-chloronaphthalene or at lower temperature, tri-2-naphthyl phosphate (mp 111℃), which can be isolated after treatment of the reaction mixture with alkali.
Reaction with one equivalent of bromine in acetic acid gives 1-bromo-2-naphthol, whereas excess bromine yields 1,6-dibromo-2-naphthol. The latter is readily debrominated in dilute mineral acid to yield 6-bromo-2-naphthol. 
Safety ProfilePoison by ingestion,inhalation, and subcutaneous routes.Mutation data reported. A skin and eyeirritant. Combustible when exposed to heator flame. To fight fire, use CO2, drychemical. Incompatible with antipyrine, camphor, phenol, ferric salts, menthol,potassium permanganate and otheroxidzing materials, urethane.
Potential ExposureA potential danger to those involvedin rubber antioxidant production, synthesis of dyes; leatherprocessing; fungicides, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes.Used as an antioxidant for fats, oils; as an antiseptic; ininsecticides.

Purification MethodsCrystallise 2-naphthol from aqueous 25% EtOH (charcoal), H2O, *benzene, toluene or CCl4. Alternatively, extract it repeatedly with small amounts of EtOH, followed by dissolution in a minimum volume of EtOH and precipitation with distilled water, then drying over P2O5 under vacuum. It has also been dissolved in aqueous NaOH and precipitated by adding acid (repeat several times), then precipitated from *benzene by addition of heptane. Final purification can be by zone melting or sublimation in vacuo. The 4-nitrobenzoate has m 104o (from EtOH). [Bardez et al. J Phys Chem 89 5031 1985, Kikuchi et al.
