Description

2-Chloro-5-methyl-p-phenylenediamine is an organic compound that is used as a catalyst in the chemical industry. This compound can also be used to decolorize and remove certain pollutants from water. 2-Chloro-5-methyl-p-phenylenediamine is synthesized by diazotization of o-, m-, or p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid followed by reaction with sodium nitrite. This process leads to the formation of a diazonium salt, which then reacts with chloride ion to yield 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine. The major use of this compound is as a catalyst for hydrogenolysis reactions, such as hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. However, it has been shown that 2CMPP can also be used in the synthesis of other molecules, such as a transition metal complex and an ionic molecule.
