Also known as

O PHENYLENEDIAMINE FOR SYNTHESIS

Notes

The zinc dust should be at least 80 per cent pure, and the amount used should be equivalent to 130 g. of 100 per cent material. A large excess of zinc dust has been used without changing the yield. 

Great care must be taken not to add too much zinc dust at first as the reaction becomes very vigorous. It is well to have a bath of ice and wet towels at hand in order to control the reaction if it should become too violent.

Occasionally the reaction suddenly stops and it is necessary to add an additional 10 cc. of 20 per cent sodium hydroxide solution, which causes the reaction to proceed.
