The vibrant world of organic pigments relies heavily on the quality and characteristics of the chemical intermediates used in their synthesis. Among these essential building blocks, 3-Hydroxy-N-naphthalen-1-ylnaphthalene-2-carboxamide (CAS 132-68-3), often known in the industry as Naphthol AS-BO or Azoic Coupling Component 4, plays a critical role. Its specific chemical structure and properties make it an indispensable component for creating pigments that offer superior performance in terms of color intensity, lightfastness, and durability.

As an intermediate, 3-Hydroxy-N-naphthalen-1-ylnaphthalene-2-carboxamide functions as a coupling component. In the production of azo pigments, it reacts with a diazonium salt derived from an aromatic amine. This coupling reaction forms an insoluble azo compound, which is the pigment molecule. The precise color and properties of the resulting pigment are heavily influenced by the quality of this intermediate. High purity, typically above 98.0%, is essential to ensure the synthesis yields pigments with consistent shades and free from impurities that could degrade performance or cause discoloration.

The versatility of 3-Hydroxy-N-naphthalen-1-ylnaphthalene-2-carboxamide allows it to be used in the synthesis of a broad spectrum of organic pigments, including those used in printing inks, paints, coatings, and plastics. Pigments derived from this intermediate are often prized for their brilliant hues and excellent fastness properties, making them suitable for demanding applications where color stability is critical.
