Aniline, also known as aminobenzene or phenylamine is an aromatic organic compound, the simplest aromatic amine. It has the chemical formula C6H7N or more convenient C6H5NH2.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Aniline can be oxidized with potassium permanganate to nitrobenzene. This reaction is the opposite of aniline's synthesis.
Physical
Aniline is a colorless liquid with a strong ammonia or fish-like odor. It is miscible with water and most organic solvents.
Availability
Aniline is sold by various chemical suppliers.
Preparation
There are several ways to make aniline. The most common way involves the reduction of nitrobenzene with hydrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst.
Another method of obtaining aniline is through the destructive distillation of Indigo.
Projects
- Make trinitroaniline
Handling
Safety
Aniline is toxic in large quantities and it's best to avoid being exposed to it for too long.
Storage
Aniline should be stored in closed bottles, away from any source of ignition and copper alloys. Due to its foul smell, it's best to keep it in a separate cabinet.
Disposal
Aniline can be destroyed by oxidizing it with Fenton's reagent.
