Description

Chromotropic acid, also known as 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid, is a sulfonated naphthalene derivative that exhibits high reactivity towards various chemical species due to its two hydroxyl groups and sulfonic acid groups. It is a versatile reagent widely used in analytical chemistry, particularly for the colorimetric determination of various substances, including formaldehyde, and other aldehydes. The presence of the sulfonic acid groups makes chromotropic acid highly water-soluble, enabling its application in aqueous solutions. It forms colored complexes with aldehydes through a condensation reaction, resulting in a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric method. Chromotropic acid is also employed in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. The compound is typically synthesized by sulfonation of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene using fuming sulfuric acid. '
