Although phenolic substances are present in coal tar, the majority of the hydroxy compounds other than phenol and cresols are prepared from the corresponding sulphonic acids or chloro derivatives by fusion with alkali.

R.SO3Na + 2NaOH = R.ONa + Na2SO3.

Phenol is usually extracted from coal tar but may be manufactured from benzene. Hydroxy compounds are sometimes obtained from corresponding amino compounds, either by diazotisation and subsequent dccomposition of the diazo compound by water, or by the reaction of sodium bisulphite upon the amine followed by treatment with caustic soda. This method is more common with the naphthalene derivatives. Oxysulphonic acids may, in some cases, be prepared by heating amines under pressure with sodium bisulphite solution.

Resorcin [] or Resorcinol (M.P. 118°C., B.P. 276,5°C.) is manufactured by heating sodium benzene disulphonate with caustic soda in cast iron vessels, fitted with a stirring gear, at 270°C., for about nine hours. The melt is dissolved in water and acidified with sulphuric acid. The resorcin is extracted with ether (Fig. IX, Appendix) and the ether distilled off. The crude resorcin may be purified by recrystallisation, quick distillation under reduced pressure, or sublimation (Fig. VII, Appendix).

Pyrogallol [] (M.P. 131 G). This compound is not obtained from coal tar. It is produced from tannin by hydrolysing to gallic acid [], the gallic acid is then heated with twice its weight of water in an autoclave from 200 to 210°C. The solution obtained of the very soluble pyrogallol is decolourised by animal charcoal and evaporated.

Since carbon dioxide is so readily split off from gallic acid, it is often better in high temperature reactions to use gallic acid in place of pyrogallol, the latter body being produced during the condensation by loss of carbon dioxide.


Naphthols C10H7OH.

α-naphthol (M.P. 94°C., B.P. 280°C.),
β-naphthol (M.P. 122°C., B.P. 286°C.).
These are white crystalline compounds, sparingly soluble in water and unlike phenol do not absorb water. They are manufactured from the corresponding sulphonic acids. Caustic soda is dissolved in water until the solution has a boiling point of about 130°C., into this solution finely powdered dried sodium naphthol sulphonate is stirred and the mixture gradually heated to about 300°C.; the reaction being carried out in an autoclave. The melt, after cooling, is acidified with hydrochloric acid and the naphthol which separates out is filter-pressed, washed and then melted.

The dioxynaphthalenes are obtained by an alkali melt of the corresponding disulphonic acids or oxysulphonic acids.

The replacement of sulphonic acid groups by oxy groups is easier in the a position and takes place at a lower temperature than in the β position. On account of this difference it is possible to obtain oxysulphonic acids by fusion processes from disulphonic acids.

Chloronaphthols may be obtained from the naphthols by chlorination in cooled acetic acid solution, by this method only homonucleal derivatives can be obtained. Other chloro-derivatives are obtained by the Gattermann or Sandmeyer reactions from the corresponding amino derivatives. Some of the chloronaphthol sulphonic acids are employed in the production of azo dyes, the introduction of chlorine tending to improve general fastness.

The Nitronaphthols may be obtained by the direct nitration vOf the naphthols, from nitrosonaphthols by oxidation, from naphthol sulphonic acids, or from nitrosonaphtholsul phonic acids. In many cases the yields are very unsatisfactory owing to the formation of tar. Chloronitronaphthalenes are converted into naphthols by digesting with strong soda carbonate solution, just as benzene derivatives are converted into phenols.
Dioxynaphthalene derivatives. Like the naphthols, the dioxynaphthalenes may be obtained by heating sulphonic acids with caustic alkali, but it has not been found possible to obtain 1.2-, 1.3-, or 1.4-dioxynaphthalene by this method.

The dioxynaphthalenes may also be obtained by heating diarnidonaphthalenes, amidonaphthols, certain amidonaphthol sulplioriic acids, or certain dioxynaphthalene sulphonic acids under pressure with dilute mineral acids. In the case of the sulphonic acid derivatives, the sulphonic acid group is eliminated by hydrolysis.

It crystallises from water in scales.
