 PURPLE CRYSTALLINE POWDER
 |  | [Uses] 
 4,4'-Diaminobiphenyl-2,2'-disulfonic acid hydrate is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals and Dyestuff.
 |  | [Production Methods] 
 2,2'-Benzidinedisulfonic acid is made from the potassium or sodium salt of 3- nitrobenzenesulfonic acid by a gradual reduction using zinc dust and sodium hydroxide solution in a dilute aqueous solution. The product is subsequently rearranged using hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid. Electrochemical or catalytic reductions are also possible.
 
 
 |  | [Flammability and Explosibility]
