AC-42112 - o-tolidine-95-pract | 119-93-7

<p>O-Tolidine is widely used in dye production. It is particularly used in textile, leather and paper industries. It can be used as an indicator in analytical, clinical and forensic chemistry. It is utilized for the determination of gold and chlorine level in swimming pool water. This Thermo Scientific</p>

<p>Applications 3,3'-Tolidine, is an important aromatic amine used mainly for dye production, but also for the production of certain elastomers. It is also an an intermediate for the production of soluble azo dyes and insoluble pigments used particularly in the textile, leather and paper industries.

<p>o-Tolidine is an organic compound that is used in analytical chemistry as a reagent for the detection of amines. It reacts with amines to form an intensely coloured compound, which can be detected by a fluorescence detector. o-Tolidine has been shown to have a high toxicity in rats and humans, with no known antidote or treatment. The mechanism of this reaction is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to involve an acid-base reaction between the o-tolidine molecule and the amine at pH 2.5, followed by protonation of the o-tolidine molecule.</p>
