What is Naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid?
Chemical properties
White, crystalline solid.Soluble in water. Combustible. Naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid [92- 41-1]. C10H8O6S2, Mr 288.28; the sodium salt of Naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid is much more soluble than that of the 2,6- isomer but can be isolated and purified by precipitation of the calcium salt at lower temperature followed by recrystallization.
The Uses of Naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid
Intermediate for dyes.
Definition
ChEBI: A naphthalenesulfonic acid in which the sulfo groups are attached to positions 2 and 7 of the naphthalene ring.
Production Methods
The 2,7-disulfonic acid is always the main product of high-temperature sulfonation of naphthalene, but at 160 C it converts slowly to an equilibrium mixture containing ca. 30 % of the 2,6-isomer. Crystallization of the pure product from conventional sulfonation is difficult, and alternative processes, (for example, reaction of naphthalene vapor with sulfur trioxide in the gas phase at 220 C) are said to give a purer product.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the acid from conc HCl. The disulfonamide has m 273o (from EtOH). [Beilstein 11 II 119, 11 III 463.]
