Description
p-Aminodiphenylamine hydrochloride was formerly
used as a hair dye. Sensitization, when deteeted by
patch testing, is relatively low in hairdressers.
Uses
4-Aminodiphenylamine is used as an oxidation dye color in hair
dyes. It is also promoted as an efficient reagent for oxidase
enzymes, including glucose, lactate, xanthine, and lysine
oxidases.
Uses
Dye intermediate, pharmaceuticals, photographic chemicals.
Uses
p-Anilinoaniline is an antioxidant that has shown to cause a reduction of NOx emissions from soybean biodiesel powered DI diesel engines but has increased CO and HC emissions. It is also used to produce dyes, pharmaceuticals, and photographic chemicals and frmerly used as a hair dye.
Purification Methods
It crystallises from EtOH with m 66o, and from ligroin with m 75o. It can be distilled at high vacuum. [Beilstein 13 IV 113.]
