It is a monohydroxy derivative of 2-naphthoic acid, which is a aromatic dicarboxylic acid. 3-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is a yellow to orange solid that is slightly soluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. It is used as a starting material in the synthesis of a variety of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
How is Bona acid produced
There are several ways to synthesize 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, depending on the starting materials and the desired yield and purity of the final product. Here is one example of a synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid:
First, 2-Naphthoic acid is converted to its ester, ethyl 2-naphthoate, by reacting it with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid.
Second, the ethyl 2-naphthoate is then treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, a reducing agent, to convert it to 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
Then, the resulting mixture is cooled and filtered to remove any solid impurities, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid as a yellow to orange solid.

- The chart shows the our best approximation of the market trend based on our algorithm interpretation of the signals
- For most indexes we have multiple sources and we focus on using statistically-correlated sources
- We will update the data trend as more information becomes available, and this means that recent trends will always be adjusted as we get more data available
- We will constantly revise our understanding of market trends, and indicated market trends may change
- The data is presented in US$. The UOM of measure is shown in the Index list table
- We do our best to create an accurate representation of the trend
Where does the data NOT come from?
- We do not purchase data from any other source and republish it.

What does the quality indication in the main menu mean?
- Quality level A: Data is from a reliable and confirmed source
- Quality level B: Data is from multiple credible sources and there are no major statistical inconsistencies between them
- Quality level C: Data is from multiple credible sources and there are some statistical inconsistencies between them
- Quality level D: Data is from a single credible source, but we cannot verify the data
- Quality level E: Data is either:
- From a single source, which we consider reliable, but we cannot verify the data.
- From 2 or more sources which have some periods of contradicting trends.
- Quality level F: Data is from a single source which we consider indicatively correct, but the data is anecdotal and we cannot verify the data.
What does the data intend to show?
- The price trend we show is intended to represent the locally manufactured prices, or local FOB prices.
- It is possible that product is imported in from other countries at a lower, or higher, price than shown.
- For example:
- The USA price for TiO2 is US$3,000/MT
- The China price for TiO2 is US$2,100/MT
- If a USA company buys TiO2 from China, their CIF price may be US$2,350/MT
- Our reporting is intended to show the US$3,000/MT, and the the US$2,100/MT but not the US$2,350/MT
