Product Information

• Name: N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylbenzidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetramethylbenzidine is a photolysis-active reagent that reacts with organic compounds and forms a yellow product. This reaction is typically carried out in a nonpolar solvent, such as toluene or hexane, at temperatures of about 120°C. The reaction can be enhanced by the addition of ferrocenecarboxylic acid, which acts as an electron donor. Tetramethylbenzidine is used in kinetic studies because it provides information on the activation energies for reactions involving chloride ions. The molecule has a constant of 4.8×10^-5 kcal/mol and an activation energy of 6.9 kcal/mol.
