After being heated and stirred at 60° to 65° C. for 2 hours, the resulting solution was cooled with water to room temperature, and reddish brown crystals formed were taken out by filtration and washed with ethanol. The crystals were added to 200 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, and then 200 ml of water was added thereto. Yellowish brown crystals (2-nitroso-5-methanesulfonylamino-1-naphthol) formed were taken out by filtration, washed with water and dried. Yield: 90 g.
