2-Aminophenol - Reference Information
| chemical properties | pure products are white needle-like crystals, which gradually turn black when exposed to light and in the air. Insoluble in benzene, soluble in ethanol and water. |
| use | used as an important intermediate for dyes and medicine o-chlorophenol is the raw material of herbicide oxazolam and insecticide phosphorus, and is also a dye intermediate. Organic synthesis and dye intermediates. Used to produce acid medium blue R, sulfide yellow brown, fluorescent whitening agent EBF, etc. It is also a verification reagent for gold and silver. Absorbed by the skin can cause dermatitis, methemoglobin and asthma. used as analytical reagent and intermediate of diazo dye and sulfide dye |
| production method | it is obtained by reducing o-nitrophenol with sodium sulfide or hydrogen; It can also be prepared by hydrolysis and reduction of o-nitrochlorobenzene. 1. sodium sulfide reduction method 2. catalytic hydrogenation method the preparation method is to add o-nitrophenol and sodium sulfide in the reaction kettle, the reaction temperature is 120~125 ℃, the reaction time is 12h, and the reaction is continuously stirred, the reduction is completed, the cooling is completed, the hydrochloric acid is added to acidify to pH = 6~7, at this time o-aminophenol and sulfur are precipitated, cooled to room temperature, filtered, washed and filtered to dry to obtain crude products, the finished product is recrystallized with ethanol. |
