production method | consists of O-Phenylenediamine and acetic acid. The mixture of O-Phenylenediamine and acetic acid was heated at 100 ° C. For 2H, cooled, and 10% sodium hydroxide solution was slowly added to make the mixture just alkaline. Filter and wash with cold water. The crude product is recrystallized with water, and the activated carbon is decolorized to obtain the finished product. The yield was 68%. |
