Dye precursor

It is a precursor to the dye anthanthrone via ring-opening to the amino carboxylic acid, which can be converted to the diazonium salt. Naphthostyril derivatives are also of interest in medicinal chemistry.[1] Naphthostyrils can be produced by metal-catalyzed cyclization of 1-naphthylamides.[2]

Chemical structure of typical naphtholactam dye.

N-Ethylnaphtholactam and related derivatives are precursors to many dyes. The lactam condenses with anilines in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride.[3]
