ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
During the course of this project work,I
faced a lot of hardships that was erased
only with the help of our teachers and
almighty .
On this occasion , I would like to thank each
and every one who has aided the
progression of this work.
I express my sincere gratitude to our
principal Rev.Fr.Mathew Arekalam for his
constant encouragement throughout the
duration of the project.

In particular, I thank Ms. Asha Rani and Ms.

Jalaja priya ,our Chemistry teacher for
guiding us to the successful completion of
this project .
I also thank Mr Prasanth our Chemistry lab
assistant for giving us the help and support
doing our project work.
Last, but certainly not the least I thank
almighty for giving me the presence of mind
and confidence which finally led to the
realisation of this project

EXPERIMENT
AIM: TO PREPARE 2NAPHTHOL ANILINE DYE

THEORY
2-Naphthol aniline dye or Benzeneazo-2naphthol is a scarlet dye. It belongs to a large
class of Azo-compounds, all of which contain
the characteristics grouping
C N=N-C

Azo compounds are all coloured compounds.

For the preparation of the dye , aniline is

diazotized and the diazonium salts obtained is

subjected to coupling reaction with 2-Naphthol

APPARATUS
One 100mL conical flask, one 100mL beaker,
one 250mL beaker, ice bath, glass rod,
Buchner funnel, water pump.

CHEMICALS
Aniline

 Sodium nitrite

2-Naphthol

Conc. Hydrochloric acid

 Glacial acetic acid

PROCEDURE
1. Take a 100mL conical flask and add 4.5mL of
aniline, 10mL of conc. HCl and 20mL of water. Cool
this solution to 5C by placing the conical flask in a
trough containing ice cold water.
2. In a 100mL beaker dissolve 4g of Sodium nitrite in
20mL of water and cool this solution also to 5C.
3. Now slowly add sodium nitrite solution to the
solution of aniline in conc.HCl.
4. Dissolve 7g of 2-Naphthol in 60mL of 10%NaOH
solution taken in a 250mL beaker and cool this

solution to 5C by placing in an ice bath. Some

crushed ice may be added directly to facilitate
cooling.
5. Now add the diazotized solution very slowly to the
Naphthol solution with constant stirring. The mixed
solutions immediately develop a deep red colour
and the Benzene azonaphthol rapidly separates as
red crystals.
6. When the addition of diazo solution is complete,
allow the mixture to stand in ice-salt mixture for 30
minutes, with occasional stirring. Filter the solution
through a Buchner funnel under suction from the
pump. Wash the Benzeneazo-2-naphthol with
water and dry the crystals obtained by pressing
between the folds of filter paper.
7. Recrystallize the product from glacial acetic acid.
Filter the crystals obtained at the pump. Wash with
a few mL of ethanol to remove acetic acid
Benzeneazo-2-naphthol is obtained as deep red
crystals. Expected yield is 3g and melting point is
133C.

RESULT
3g of Benzenoazo-2-naphthol is obtained as
deep red crystals with melting point 133C.

PRECAUTIONS

1.
The solution of the aniline
hydrochloride should be cooled to 5C and
this temperature maintained throughout
the addition of the sodium nitrite solution.
2.
Addition of sodium nitrite should be
very slow because the reaction is
exothermic and may cause the
temperature to rise.

3.

Always add Diazonium chloride solution to

-Naphthol solution for formation and not
vice-versa.
