OtherCpds =Armstrong's acid (naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid) is a strong acid which is related to
toluenesulfonic acid and is used in chemical synthesis. It is sometimes used as adivalent counterion for forming salts of basic drug compounds, as an alternative to the relatedmesylate ortosylate salts. When used in this way such a salt is called a naphthalenedisulfonate salt, as seen with the most common salt form of the stimulant drug CFT.
