2-Amino-4-nitrophenol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

OCHRE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

An aromatic constituent found in hair dyes and other cosmetic products with very low levels of mutagenic activity.

Uses

2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is used in preparing some mordant dyes and in some hair dyes.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is a member of 4-nitrophenols.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 3, p. 82, 1955

General Description

Orange prisms or yellow powder. No odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Oxidation of 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol may occur in the presence of air and violent decomposition may occur if 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is allowed to dry out completely at elevated temperatures. 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is stable when stored protected from light and under nitrogen for two weeks at temperatures up to 140° F, and storage under nitrogen for up to 24 weeks at room temperature (77° F) should produce no loss of stability. 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates and strong oxidizing agents. 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is also incompatible with iron.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol are not available. 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol is probably combustible.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Crystallise the phenol from water. [Beilstein 13 IV 896.]
