Description and Uses

DMOB is a colorless crystalline materialwhich may turn purple on standing in air. Molecularweight=244.32; Freezing/Melting point=137-138℃;Flash point=206℃. Hazard Identification (based onNFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 1,Reactivity 0. Slightly soluble in water.

o-Dianisidine is a starting material for the production of disazo dyes and pigments.
Like benzidine and o-tolidine, o-dianisidine forms colors with numerous oxidizing agents, e.g., copper, cobalt, and gold ions. o-Dianisidine is quantitatively determined by titration with nitrite using potassium iodide and starch paper as the indicator. o-Dianisidine can be detected in the urine using potassium 1,2-naphthoquinone4-sulfonate after extraction. A rapid and easy method is based on the color formed with cyanogen bromide. Its detection limit is 0.05 mg/kg.
The free o-dianisidine base and the dihydrochloride are marketed in moist forms with a 10-30% water content.
