Description

5-Chloro-2-nitrodiphenylamine is a synthetic dyestuff that belongs to the class of acridones. It can be used as an anti-epileptic drug, although it has not been approved for this use in any country. 5-Chloro-2-nitrodiphenylamine is manufactured by reacting a 6-carboxylic acid with an organic solvent and ammonolysis. This chemical is also known as 6'-chloroacridone and is used in the production of dyes and pigments. The manufacturing process produces impurities such as chloride, which must be removed by evaporation. Nitro groups are introduced during the manufacturing process to improve the dye's stability and color fastness under light exposure.
