5-Hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzoic acid, also known as 5-hydroxy-2-thiosalicylic acid, is an important organic compound. It has the following physical properties:
1. ** Appearance and Properties **: Usually white to light yellow crystalline powder. This form is easy to store and transport, and it is also easy to measure and use in many chemical reactions, providing convenience for related operations.
2. ** Solubility **: Slightly soluble in water, because although its molecular structure contains hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, it also has hydrophobic parts such as benzene rings, which limits its solubility in water. However, it is soluble in alkali solutions, because carboxyl and hydroxyl groups can react with alkali to form corresponding salts, enhancing solubility in alkali solutions; it is also soluble in some organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, etc., which provides more possibilities for selecting suitable solvents in organic synthesis and separation and purification operations.
3. ** Melting point **: The melting point is in a specific temperature range, generally around 160-165 ° C. Melting point is an important physical constant of the substance. Its purity can be judged by measuring the melting point. If the purity of the substance is high, the melting point range is narrow and close to the theoretical value; if it contains impurities, the melting point will be reduced and the melting range will be widened. This property is of great significance in quality control and purity identification.
4. ** Odor **: This substance has a weak and special odor, although it is not strong and pungent, it is still necessary to pay attention to ventilation during operation and use to avoid long-term inhalation to prevent potential adverse effects on the human body.

5-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is also an organic compound. It has the following chemical properties:
- ** acidic **: Because it contains a carboxyl group (-COOH), which is an acidic functional group, it can partially ionize hydrogen ions (H 🥰) in water, so it is acidic. It can neutralize with bases, such as with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The hydrogen in the carboxyl group is combined with hydroxide (OH) to form water, and the carboxyl group is combined with sodium ion (Na 🥰) to form 5-hydroxy-2-naphthoate sodium salt. The reaction equation is as follows: 5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid + NaOH → 5-hydroxy-2-sodium naphthoate + H 2O O. This property makes this substance can be used to prepare corresponding carboxylic salts, which are widely used in the field of organic synthesis and drug preparation.
- ** Hydroxy Properties **: The molecule contains a hydroxyl group (-OH), which has certain activity. Hydroxyl hydrogen can be replaced by some nucleophiles, such as reacting with halogenated hydrocarbons under basic conditions. Hydroxyl hydrogen is replaced by hydrocarbons in halogenated hydrocarbons to form corresponding ether compounds. At the same time, hydroxyl groups can also participate in esterification reactions, and form esters with organic or inorganic acids under the action of catalysts. For example, with acetic acid catalyzed by concentrated sulfuric acid and heated, 5-acetoxy-2-naphthalate and water are formed.
- ** Aromatic properties **: 5-hydroxy-2-naphthalic acid contains naphthalene ring structure, naphthalene ring is an aromatic hydrocarbon, with high stability. However, due to the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl substituents on the naphthalene ring, these groups will affect the electron cloud distribution of the naphthalene ring, thereby changing the activity and selectivity of the naphthalene ring. For example, the hydroxyl group is the power supply group, which increases the density of the electron cloud of the naphthalene ring ortho and para-position, and the electrophilic substitution reaction easily occurs in the ortho and para-position of the naphthalene ring; the carboxyl group is the electron-withdrawing group, which decreases the density of the electron cloud of the naphthalene ring and weakens the reactivity. Therefore, the substance can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitrification, and sulfonation, and the substitution position is dominated by the localization effect of the substituent.

5-Amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, that is, laurenic acid, the common preparation methods are as follows.
First take the refined naphthalene as the starting material and sulfonate it with concentrated sulfuric acid. In a specific reaction vessel, put the refined naphthalene, at a suitable temperature, slowly add concentrated sulfuric acid, so that the sulfonic acid group is introduced into the naphthalene molecule to generate the naphthalenesulfonic acid isomer mixture. This step requires attention to temperature control. If the temperature is too high, the side reactions will increase, which will affect the purity and yield of the product.
Subsequently, the naphthalenesulfonic acid isomer mixture is nitrified. Under specific conditions, a suitable nitrifying reagent, such as a mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, is added to introduce the sulfonic acid group into the ortho or para-position of the nitro group to obtain the nitro-containing naphthalenesulfonic acid derivative. This process also requires strict control of the reaction conditions, such as the proportion of mixed acid, reaction temperature and time, etc., otherwise it is easy to cause excessive nitrification or poor nitrification site selectivity.
Next, the nitro-containing naphthalenesulfonic acid derivative is reduced. A suitable reducing agent, such as iron powder and hydrochloric acid system, or catalytic hydrogenation, can be used to convert the nitro group into an amino group, and then 5-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic Taking the system of iron powder and hydrochloric acid as an example, iron powder generates new hydrogen under the action of hydrochloric acid, and the nitro group is reduced to an amino group. This process should pay attention to factors such as the acidity of the reaction system, the amount of iron powder and the reaction time.
Or other ways can be used, such as using a specific substituted naphthalene as the starting material, through a series of functional group conversion reactions, it can also be prepared. However, the above-mentioned methods of sulfonation, nitrification and reduction of refined naphthalene as the starting material are more commonly used, and are used in industrial production and laboratory preparation. Through precise regulation of the reaction conditions of each step, 5-amino-2-naphthalene sulfonic acid products with high purity and yield can be obtained.

5-Amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid is one of the chemical substances. When storing and transporting, many matters must be paid attention to.
When storing, choose the first environment. It should be placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, because if the substance is exposed to high temperature, humidity, or causes changes in properties, or even causes chemical reactions. Do not store with oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc., because the cover is chemically active, contact with such substances, or react violently, causing danger. Storage containers must be tightly sealed to prevent them from deteriorating in contact with air, moisture, etc.
As for transportation, there are also many points. Before transportation, the substance must be properly packaged, and the appropriate packaging material should be selected according to its characteristics to ensure that the packaging is firm and there is no risk of leakage. During transportation, the transportation tool should run smoothly to avoid violent vibration and collision to prevent package damage. And it is necessary to strictly control the temperature, keep away from heat sources and fire sources, and prevent dangerous reactions from being triggered by excessive temperature. Transport personnel must have professional knowledge, be familiar with the characteristics of the substance and emergency disposal methods, and be able to respond quickly and correctly in case of emergencies.
In addition, regardless of storage or transportation, relevant places and tools should be posted with obvious warning labels to make everyone aware of the danger of the substance and promote prevention. Only by paying attention to the above matters during storage and transportation can we ensure the safety of 5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid and avoid accidents.
