Description and Uses
o-Tolidine, also called orthotolidine or 2-tolidine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula (C6H4(CH3)NH2)2. It is a white to reddish-colored, combustible, aromatic amine that emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Several isomers are known; the 3-tolidine derivative is also important commercially. It is a colorless compound although commercial samples are often colored. It is slightly soluble in water. It forms salts with acids, such as hydrochloride, which is commercially available. 2-Tolidine can be produced by a benzidine rearrangement from a hydrazine derivative derived from 2-nitrotoluene.
o-Tolidine is used extensively in the manufacture of dyes, especially in the production of soluble azo dyes and insoluble pigments for the textile, leather, and paper sectors. Additionally, It is also used as a sensitive colorimetric reagent for the analysis of gold and free chlorine in water.
