Biological activity | Naphthoresorcinol (1, 3-Dihydroxyynaphthalene) is a fluorescent dye (λex = 330 nm, λem = 380 nm), which can react with NPPD (a tracer) and concentrated HCl and show red. Naphthoresorcinol can also be used as a background electrolyte (BGE) to determine carbohydrates. |
use | sugar and oil reagents to measure glucuronic acid in urine. |
Production method | It is obtained by decarboxylation of 1, 3-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. |
