Abstract

The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of 1-aminonaphthalene-2,4,7-trisulphonic acid and 1-aminonaphthalene-7-sulphonic acid (1,7-Cleve's acid), in which 1-aminonaphthalene or naphthionic acid is sulphonated selectively in the presence of certain additives to give 1-aminonaphthalene-2,4,7-trisulphonic acid and this is hydrolyzed to 1,7-Cleve's acid by warming in aqueous sulphuric acid.
