1,2-Diaminonaphthalene (1,2-DAN) is a member of the naphthalene family, classified as an organic compound. This substance presents as a white crystalline solid and has a molecular weight of 180.21 g/mol. The mechanism of action for 1,2-Diaminonaphthalene involves the creation of a Schiff base by combining 1,2-dihydroxy naphthalene with ammonia, facilitated by an acid or base catalyst. Subsequently, this Schiff base undergoes a condensation reaction, resulting in the formation of 1,2-Diaminonaphthalene. It is essential to note that the reaction is reversible and can be driven to completion with the addition of an excess of ammonia or an acid or base catalyst.
