Chemical Properties
Deliquescent crystals.Soluble
in water, alcohol, and ether. Combustible.
Uses
Sodium 1-naphthalenesulfonate was employed as a detection reagent to investigate ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic retention behavior of copper(II)-1-oxa-4,7,10,13-tetraazacyclopentadecane complex. It was also employed as a stationary liquid phase for resolution of dichlorophenol isomers by GC.
Uses
Starting point in the manufacture of
α-naphthol, α-naphthalene sulfonic acid, α-
naphthylaminesulfonic acid; solvent (Na salt) for
phenol in the manufacture of disinfectant soaps.
Flammability and Explosibility
Not classified
Purification Methods
Recrystallise it from water or aqueous acetone [Okadata et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 2863 1986]. [Beilstein 11 IV 521.]
