OBSERVATIONS ON NAPHTHOL STAINING AND THE HISTOCHEMICAL LOCALIZATION OF ENZYMES BY NAPHTHOL-AZO DYE TECHNIQUE

Solvatochromism of â-Naphthol

Excitation and emission fluorescence spectra of 2-naphthol and 2-methoxynaphthalene were measured in a series of pure solvents. The spectral shifts are correlated by the Kamlet-Taft parameters (π*, â, and R). As judged from the π* dependence, both molecules have a negligibly small dipole moment in their ground electronic state, which increases in the excited (S1) state. However, the majority of...

2,4-Dinitro-1-naphthol

In the title compound, C(10)H(6)N(2)O(5), the two fused rings are almost co-planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0163 Å. The nitro groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 2.62 (11) and 44.69 (11)° with respect to the plane of the parent fused rings. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds complete S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains along [101] by inter...

1-(Hydroxy­imino­meth­yl)-2-naphthol

The title compound, C(11)H(9)NO(2), was prepared by a condens-ation reaction of 2-hydr-oxy-1-naphthaldehyde with hydroxyl-ammonium chloride in refluxing ethanol. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions result in a two-dimensional network.

5-Amino-1-naphthol

In the title compound, C(10)H(9)NO, the amino and the hydr-oxy groups act both as a single donor and a single acceptor in hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected via chains of inter-molecular ⋯N-H⋯O-H⋯ inter-actions, forming a two-dimensional polymeric structure resembling the hydrogen-bonded mol-ecular assembly found in the crystal structure of naphthalene-1,5-diol. Within t...
