Nitrobenzene, which is used in the production of aniline, a major chemical intermediate in the production of dyes. |
Basic ingredients are acid fuchsin, aniline blue, orange G, and phosphotungstic acid. |
When aniline is reacted with excess acetic acid under dehydration conditions a white, crystalline material is formed, acetanilide. |
Predominantly in the tangential walls, primary pit fields of high density are conspicuously labelled by aniline blue staining of callose. |
In subsequent decades, a rainbow of other aniline dyestuffs were synthesized and made available to textile colorists. |
Other uses of aniline include the manufacture of rubber processing chemicals and the production of agrochemicals and dyestuffs. |
