1-Naphthylamine
1-Naphthylamine is an aromatic amine derived from naphthalene. It can cause bladder cancer (transitional cell carcinoma). It crystallizes in colorless needles which melt at 50 °C. It possesses a disagreeable odor, sublimes readily, and turns brown on exposure to air. It is the precursor to a variety of dyes.. Preparation and reactions It can be prepared by reducing 1-nitronaphthalene with iron and hydrochloric acid followed by steam distillation. Oxidizing agents, such as ferric chloride, give a blue precipitate with solutions of its salts. Chromic acid converts it into 1-naphthoquinone. Sodium in boiling amyl alcohol reduces the unsubstituted ring, giving tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine. This tetrahydro compound yields adipic acid when oxidized by potassium permanganate. At 200 °C in sulfuric acid, it converts to 1-naphthol. Use in dyes The sulfonic acid derivatives of 1-naphthylamine are used for the preparation of azo dye. These compounds possess the important pro ...
