The Uses of N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride

N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride acts as a coupling agent for the spectrophotometric determination of aromatic amines, aminophenols, phenylenediamines, dinitroanilines, chloroanilines, thiols and sulfonamides. It is also used in the quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite in water samples by colorimetry. It is involved in the preparation of (N-1-naphthyl-ethylenediamine)-dichloroplatinum(II) by reacting with potassium tetrachloroplatinate.
