 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: 3-Hydroxy-2-naphthoate is a naphthoic acid.
 |  | [Preparation] 
 3 -Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is invariably by the Kolbe – Schmitt reaction of carbon dioxide with the dried sodium salt of 2-naphthol at 220 – 260℃. Many improvements in both process and equipment have been developed. The main problems are removal of the 50 % unreacted 2-naphthol and avoidance of a tarry byproduct. Yields of 80 % based on the amount of 2-naphthol consumed are possible despite the low conversion.
 |  | [Purification Methods] 
 Crystallise it from water or acetic acid. The S-benzyisothiuronium salt has m 216-217o (from EtOH). It forms many metal complex salts. [Beilstein 10 H 333, 10 III 1084.]
