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.

This is just one example of a synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and there may be other methods that are used depending on the specific requirements and conditions of the synthesis.
