    o-Phenylenediamine (OPD) is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(NH2)2. This aromatic diamine is an important precursor to many heterocyclic compounds. OPD is a white compound although samples appear darker owing to oxidation by air. It is isomeric with m-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine.

    Preparation[edit]

    Commonly, 2-nitrochlorobenzene is treated with ammonia and the resulting 2-nitroaniline, whose nitro group is then reduced:[4]

    ClC6H4NO2 + 2 NH3 → H2NC6H4NO2 + NH4Cl
    H2NC6H4NO2 + 3 H2 → H2NC6H4NH2 + 2 H2O

    In the laboratory, the reduction of the nitroaniline is effected with zinc powder in ethanol, followed by purification of the diamine as the hydrochloride salt. Darkened impure samples can be purified by treatment of its aqueous solution with sodium dithionite and activated carbon.[5]

    Reactions and uses[edit]

    o-Phenylenediamine condenses with ketones and aldehydes to give rise to various valuable products. Its reactions with formic acids to produce benzimidazole.[6] Other carboxylic acids give 2-substituted benzimidazoles. The herbicides benomyl and fuberidazole are made in this manner. Thiophanate-methyl is another herbicide produced from o-phenylenediamine.[4] Condensation with potassium ethylxanthate gives 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.[7] With nitrous acid, o-phenylenediamine condenses to give benzotriazole, a corrosion inhibitor.[8]

    Quinoxalinedione may be prepared by condensation of o-phenylenediamine with dimethyl oxalate. Mercaptoimidazole are commonly used as antioxidantsinrubber production, obtained by condensing xanthate esters. Condensation of substituted o-phenylenediamine with diketones yields various pharmaceuticals.[9]

    OPD is a ligandincoordination chemistry. Oxidation of metal-phenylenediamine complexes affords the diimine derivatives.[10] OPD condenses with salicylaldehyde to give chelating Schiff base ligands.

    Safety[edit]

    With an LD50 of 44 mg/L (in water), o-phenylenediamine is about 1000 times less toxic than the para-isomer. Anilines are typically handled as if they are carcinogenic. For many applications, OPD has been replaced by safer alternatives such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine.[11]
