1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene is an organic compound with the formula C₁₀H₆(OH)₂. It is one of several isomers of dihydroxynaphthalene. A white solid, degraded samples often appear grey to light brown solid ^[1] that are soluble in polar organic solvents. It is a precursor to certain dyes.

Preparation and use

1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene is prepared from naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid by hydrolysis with strong base followed by acidification.

It couples with various aryl diazonium salts to give diazo dyes. Oxidation with chromium trioxide gives juglone, a naturally occurring dye.^[2]

In supramolecular chemistry, 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene is a popular reagent.^[3]^[4]
