Overview | neutral red, dark green powder in 50% ethanol. Soluble in water or alcohol, red. In water, ethanol, ethylene glycol-ether solubility of 1.8% and 3.75%, respectively, insoluble in xylene. Ld50142 mg/kg (mice). Crystalline powder with dark green appearance. Water-soluble dark red, soluble in anhydrous ethanol magenta and with fluorescence. Solubility of 4.0wt% in water, ethanol 1.8wt%, ethylene glycol 3.0wt%, ethylene glycol ether 3.75wt%, almost insoluble in xylene, the maximum absorption wavelength (50% alcohol) 540nm. For the preparation of neutral red, N, n-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline hydrochloride is usually condensed with 2, 4-diaminotoluene. The intermediate N, n-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline hydrochloride was obtained by nitrosation of N,N-dimethylaniline, hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite. The condensate was filtered, acid-separated, centrifuged, spin-dried and dried to give neutral red. |
Application | neutral red can be used as acid-base indicator, pH6.8 (red) ~ 8.0 (yellow); It is water, an indicator of nitrite and urinary alkalinity; In histochemistry it is used as an indicator of the hydrolysis of fats. At the same time, it is also a kind of good biological stain; For nerve cells of the Neal (Nissl) small particle staining and The Green Green for blood in vitro in vivo staining. Neutral red is widely used for the Photometric Determination of iodide and the preparation of neutral red test paper. |
preparation | a method for the preparation of neutral red: (I) nitrosation reaction: to be equipped with a stirrer, 200g of N,N-dimethylaniline was added to the 600 mL beaker of the thermometer. Under stirring, G of industrial concentrated hydrochloric acid (concentration of 37 ~ 38wt%) was slowly added, add the crushed ice to make the temperature lower than 5 ℃, and slowly add 133g of sodium nitrite solution to 250g of aqueous solution under stirring. At the same time, add the crushed ice at any time, the reaction temperature was maintained below 8 °c for about 1 hour. After the addition, stirring was continued for 2 hours, and an orange-yellow precipitate was precipitated. The orange-yellow precipitate was filtered with vacuum suction through a porcelain orifice funnel, and N, n-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline hydrochloride was collected by filtration to obtain about 335g (wet product). (B) condensation, oxidation closing reaction: the equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, condenser and feed port of 5000ml four round bottom flask holder is placed in the sleeve thermostat, and add 3600 grams of distilled water, 115g of 2, 4-diaminotoluene, heated to 90 °c with stirring, Make 2, 4-diaminotoluene completely dissolved in water, then add 3.5G ferrous chloride, continue heating, add 175g N at 90 ℃, N-dimethyl -4-nitrosoaniline hydrochloride (dry), the reaction temperature is maintained at 90 ℃ ~ 95 ℃, about 30 minutes to add, and the temperature of 92 ℃ ~ 98 ℃ between holding 3/4 hours, then the reaction liquid with three layers of Fu silk cloth natural filtration, the filtrate is placed in 10 liters of small enamel glass container, subsequently, 2200g of industrial concentrated hydrochloric acid after filtration was added, and the mixture was stirred and allowed to stand for cooling. All crystals were precipitated after three days. The crystals were collected by filtration, centrifuged and spin-dried, and the dried product was dried in a constant temperature oven. The drying temperature is 105 ℃ ~ 115 ℃, 150 grams of neutral red product, the yield is 56% of the theoretical amount, the purity is more than or equal to 97%, the appearance is dark green crystalline powder, pH color gamut 6.8 (red) ~ 8.0 (orange), sulfuric acid ash is less than or equal to 3%,105 deg C drying weight loss is less than or equal to 3%. |
artificial dyes | that is aniline dyes or coal tar dyes, many kinds, a wide range of applications. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to fade by sunlight, aniline blue, bright green, methyl green and so on. In the production of attention to grasp the pH, and to avoid direct sunlight, but also after several years does not fade. Neutral red (Neutral red) is a weak basic dye, red powder, soluble in water (solubility 4%) and alcohol (solubility 1.8%). It is yellow in alkaline solution, blue in strong alkaline solution, and red in weak acidic solution, so it can be used as an indicator. Neutral red is a non-toxic, vital dye used to stain protozoa and display the contents of living cells in animal and plant tissues. Chen Jiu's neutral red aqueous solution was used as a common dye for the display of Neer. |
Use | used as biological stain and so on acid-base indicator, biological stain. pH 6.8 (red)-8.0 (yellow). Alkalinity indicators for water, nitrite, and urine. An indicator for the hydrolysis of fat in histochemistry. Denier (Nissl) pellet staining of neural cells. It is used for in vivo staining of blood in vitro with Kenna Green. Photometric determination of iodide ions. Preparation of neutral red paper. |
production method | 1. From N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline hydrochloride and toluene -2, 4-diamine. 2. Add dimethylaniline to hydrochloric acid aqueous solution at 5 ℃, stir to dissolve, and then add sodium nitrite aqueous solution to react while stirring, and control the temperature at 5~10 ℃: stir for 1H, then filter, the crystalline P-Nitroso-dimethylaniline hydrochloride was washed with a small amount of water and used. Ferrous sulfate was dissolved in hot water at 90 ℃, and then 2, 4-diaminotoluene was added. After fully stirring and dissolving, the prepared p-nitrosodimethylaniline hydrochloride was slowly added, and the reaction was stirred for 1H, add appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid and filter. The filtrate was bubbled with hydrogen chloride gas, allowed to stand, filtered after crystallization was complete, and dried to obtain a neutral red product. |
