SYNONYMS :
As the compound readily forms diazo compounds, it is used to make dyes and sulfa drugs.[3] This property is also used for the quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite ions by diazonium coupling reaction with N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine, resulting in an azo dye, and the concentration of nitrate or nitrite ions were deduced from the color intensity of the resulting red solution by colorimetry.[5]
