Description

Application
It functions as a redox indicator forming a stable red radical cation in photographic developers methylene blue dye production and colorimetric assays for detecting chlorine cyanide or sulfite in water analysis.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is as a sensitive chromogenic reagent in analytical chemistry undergoing one-electron oxidation to a distinctive red-colored species detectable at 515 nm useful for trace-level oxidant quantification.

General Description
NN-Dimethyl-14-phenylenediamine (C8H12N2) commonly known as dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine is an organic compound featuring a benzene ring with an unsubstituted amino group (-NH2) at position 1 and a dimethylamino group (-N(CH3)2) at position 4 appearing as a colorless to reddish-violet solid or liquid with molecular weight 136.19 gmol melting point around 3441C and boiling point 262C.
