Synthesis, Characterization and RP-HPLC Method Development and Validation for Simultaneous Determination of Koch Acid and H Acid

摘要

1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid (H acid) is an important intermediate used for the synthesizing some dyestuffs and pharmaceuticals. The synthesis of H acid was followed by sulfonation, nitration, reduction and alkali fusion. The total yield was increased to 35% with 99% purity. This study focuses on cheap synthesis of H acid on an industrial scale. The composition and percentage of these compounds were characterized by making reactive dyes and chromatographic analysis, i.e. UV/Visible, IR and HPLC. The RP-HPLC method was developed; in the analysis of Koch acid (1-amino-naphthalene-3,6,8-trisulfonic acid) and H acid. The single HPLC method is useful, both, in the chemical intermediate (Koch acid) and for the final product (H acid).
