Chemical Properties
White glossy long prismatic needle-like crystals, the crystals precipitated from water contain 5 molecules of crystal water. The solubility in water at 20°C is 23%. Its monosodium salt and monopotassium salt are commonly used in industry, both of which are soluble in water, and the salt solution has green fluorescence.
Uses
2-Naphthylamine-5,7-disulfonic acid is an intermediate for the preparation of J acid, bis-J acid, phenyl J acid and scarlet acid.
