Chemical compound
4-Aminophenol (or para -aminophenolor p -aminophenol ) is an organic compound with the formula H 2 NC 6 H 4 OH. Typically available as a white powder,[3] it is commonly used as a developer for black-and-white film , marketed under the name Rodinal .
Reflecting its slightly hydrophilic character, the white powder is moderately soluble in alcohols and can be recrystallized from hot water. In the presence of a base, it oxidizes readily. The methylated derivatives N -methylaminophenol and N ,N -dimethylaminophenol are of commercial value.
The compound is one of three isomeric aminophenols, the other two being 2-aminophenol and 3-aminophenol .
Preparation [ edit ]
From phenol [ edit ]
It is produced from phenol by nitration followed by reduction with iron. Alternatively, the partial hydrogenation of nitrobenzene affords phenylhydroxylamine , which rearranges primarily to 4-aminophenol (Bamberger rearrangement ).[4]
C 6 H 5 NO 2 + 2 H2 → C6 H 5 NHOH + H2 O
C 6 H 5 NHOH → HOC6 H 4 NH 2
From nitrobenzene [ edit ]
It can be produced from nitrobenzene by electrolytic conversion to phenylhydroxylamine , which spontaneously rearranges to 4-aminophenol.[5]
From 4-nitrophenol [ edit ]
4-nitrophenol can be reduced through a variety of methods, to yield 4-aminophenol. One method involves hydrogenation over a Raney Nickel catalyst . A second method involves selective reduction of the nitro group by Tin(II ) Chloride in anhydrous ethanol or ethyl ethanoate . [6] [7]
4-Aminophenol is a building block used in organic chemistry. Prominently, it is the final intermediate in the industrial synthesis of paracetamol . Treating 4-aminophenol with acetic anhydride gives paracetamol:[8] [9] [10]
It is a precursor to amodiaquine , mesalazine , AM404 , parapropamol , B-86810 & B-87836 (c.f. WO 2001042204 ).
4-Aminophenol converts readily to the diazonium salt .[11]
