We had to extract Naphthol from a liquid mixture containing a few compounds in diethyl ether and water.  I know that acidic compounds were made basic to dissolve the compounds based on their pH. 

For example, Benzoic acid is converted to Sodium Benzoate (basic compound).  However, what does Naphthol change to?  What is it's basic conjugate?  Sodium Hydroxide was used to convert to the basic compound, but how do I figure out the basic conjugate?

Check phenol.

phenoxide? Is that what you mean?

Yep, you are on the right track.
