Synthesis and reactions edit

1-Nitroso-2-naphthol can be prepared by treatment of 2-naphthol with nitrous acid:[3]

C10H7OH + HNO2 → C10H6(NO)OH + H2O

Its conjugate base forms deeply colored complexes with iron(II) and cobalt(II), complexes [M(C10H6(NO)O)3]2-.[4] The deep colors of these complexes results from the delocalized bonding within each five-membered chelate ring. These species can be classified as nitroso complexes.
