Product Information

• Name: 4,5-Dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,5-Dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine is a fluorescent derivative of an unlabeled amine that is used in analytical chemistry. It has been shown to react with hydrogen bond donors and acceptors in aqueous solution to produce a new compound with a different fluorescence spectrum. This reaction mechanism can be used for sample preparation prior to analysis by various analytical methods. The coordination geometry of 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine has been determined using x-ray crystal structures obtained from the compound in fetal bovine serum. A model system that mimics the disease activity of diabetic patients has been constructed using this compound as the analyte.
