Description
Transparent colorless crystals prepared by treating nitrotoluene with Acetic acid in the presence of Iron. Paratoluidine is used in the manufacture of some synthetic organic red colorants. Paratoluidine reds are sometimes used in inks but are not used as an artist colors because they bleed and fade with time.
