Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 1-diazo-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (1.49 g, 5.95 mmol) and 2-naphthol (0.858 g, 5.95 mmol) in water (20 mL), sodium bicarbonate (1.50 g, 17.85 mmol) was added slowly. The resulting solution was heated at 60° C. with stirring overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature, and was adjusted to pH=1 with 3 N hydrochloride solution. The purple precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with water to provide the title compound (1.35 g, 58%) MS(ES) m/z 393 [M−H].
