Phenylhydrazine is a chemical compound from the group of aromatic hydrazines. It is a yellowish liquid that turns increasingly dark red to red-brown in air.
history
Phenylhydrazine was the first aromatic hydrazine compound to be investigated by Emil Fischer in 1875. He produced it by reducing phenyl diazonium salts with sulfite salts . Fischer used phenylhydrazine to study the structure of carbohydrates by forming hydrazones from the aldehyde group of sugars.
Occurrence
Phenylhydrazine occurs naturally in some plants ( bay tree , legumes ).
Extraction and presentation
Phenylhydrazine is obtained commercially by diazotization of aniline followed by reduction , for the diazonium cation. B. obtained by sodium sulfite . In 1998 the production volume in Western Europe was 6650 tons.
properties
Phenylhydrazine forms monoclinic crystals and melts to an oily liquid at room temperature. It decomposes at temperatures above 260 ° C. The heat of decomposition determined by DSC is −71 kJ · mol −1 or −662 kJ · kg −1 . Its vapors are four times as heavy as air. It is a strong reducing agent and easily soluble in water.
use
Phenylhydrazine is used as an intermediate in the production of indoles , which in turn are intermediates in the synthesis of various dyes , agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It also serves as a raw material for the production of developers for photo technology.
It can also serve as a reagent for the detection or identification of compounds with carbonyl groups (formation of phenylhydrazones or osazones ). The use of phenylhydrazine as a laboratory chemical (analytical reagent for aldehydes , ketones and sugars through the formation of the well-crystallizing phenylhydrazones or osazones , for the detection of molybdenum and other metals) is associated with derivatization .
safety instructions
Phenylhydrazine is spontaneously flammable if it is contaminated or comes into contact with materials with a large surface (e.g. cleaning wool or sand). Its vapors can form an explosive mixture with air when heated above its flash point (89 ° C). Phenylhydrazine is considered to be carcinogenic , is a strong blood poison ( formation of methaemoglobin ) and causes eczema on the skin. In addition, it leads to irreversible damage to the blood pigment and the erythrocytes .
