Naphthionic acid is an organic compound with the formula C10H6(SO3H)(NH2). It is one of several aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids, derivatives of naphthalene containing both amine and sulfonic acid functional groups. It is a white solid, although commercial samples can appear gray.[1] It is used in the synthesis of azo dyes such as Rocceline (a. k. a. Solid Red A), during which the amino group of the acid (in the form of a salt) is diazotated and then coupled with, in the case mentioned, β-naphthol. It is prepared by treating 1-aminonaphthalene with sulfuric acid.[2]
