The appearance was gray-white crystals. Melting point 135 °c (137 °c). Soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents. Slightly soluble in water, benzene. Soluble in hot water. It is easy to oxidize and change color when exposed to air.
with p-cresol as raw material, nitric acid, sulfuric acid mixed acid with a certain concentration for nitration, reaction completion, separation of waste acid, after washing and distillation with sulfide alkali reduction, and finally after acid precipitation, crystallization, drying to obtain the finished product.
The hydroreduction method is the same as the 1 method, but is carried out in the presence of a catalyst. Hydrogen reduction was used instead of the alkali sulfide reduction.
dye intermediate, mainly used for fluorescent whitening agent DT.
brown or orange Flake crystals. A water melting point of 80~90 deg C, anhydrous melting point of 145~147 deg C (142~143 deg C; 195~198 deg C decomposition). Soluble in acetic acid, ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water.
toxic. Has a stimulating effect on the skin. The equipment in the production site should be sealed and well ventilated. Production operators should wear protective equipment. Packed in plastic bags lined with iron or cardboard barrels. 25kg or 50kg net per barrel. According to the general provisions of the storage and transportation of chemicals.
