It is prepared by the condensation of aniline and p-aminobenzaldehyde . Alternatively, it arises from the oxidation of 4,4'-bis(aminophenyl)methane in the presence of aniline.
Uses
- It is used to dye polyacrylonitrile fibers.
- It is used to detect sulfur dioxide.[5]
- Pararosaniline is used as a colorimetric test for aldehydes, in the Schiff test. It is the only basic fuchsine component suitable for making the aldehyde-fuchsine stain for pancreatic islet beta cells.[6]
- It has use as an antischistosomal. [7]
