Definition

ChEBI: Victoria blue B is an iminium salt composed of 4-{(4-anilinonaphthalen-1-yl)[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylidene}-N,N-dimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-iminium and chloride ions in a 1:1 ratio. It binds to nucleic acids and can be used in standardised staining techniques suitable for automated cell-pattern recognition. It has a role as a histological dye and a fluorochrome. It is an iminium salt and an organic chloride salt. It contains a victoria blue B(1+).

Preparation

(a) 4-(Dichloro(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)methyl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine and Naphthalen-1-amine condensation; (b) Bis (4 – (dimethylamino) phenyl) methanol and Naphthalen-1-amine condensation, the product into N-and the nitro derivatives, and then oxidation, remove the nitro.
