Naphthionic acid is an aromatic sulfonic acid. It appears as a light grey powder[2] and is used in the synthesis of azo dyes such as Rocceline (a. k. a. Solid Red A), during which the amino group of the acid (in the form of a salt) is diazotated and then coupled with, in the case mentioned, β-naphthol.
