Rosaniline

Rosaniline is a derivative of aniline that appears as brownish-red crystals. It is used as a histological stain for staining tissues and cells in microscopy.

Rosaniline is easily soluble in acids and forms highly soluble salts. It has a high melting point and is insoluble in water.

To obtain rosaniline, aniline undergoes alkylation with phenol or catechol. The resulting product is oxidized to yield 1-phenyl-2-pyridinone. This product is then subjected to sulfite condensation with phenol or catechol.

Applications of rosaniline in histology include staining tissues and cells to determine their structure and function. It is also used in histochemical techniques to identify enzymes, proteins and other substances in tissues.

One of the advantages of using rosaniline is its ability to penetrate cell membranes and stain intracellular structures. This allows researchers to better understand the structure and function of tissues.

However, the use of rosaniline may cause some problems due to its toxicity. Therefore, when handling it, you must take precautions and use it only in accordance with the instructions.



Rosaniline is a chemical compound that is a derivative of aniline (aniline is an aromatic amine) and appears as brownish red crystals. Rosaniline was developed by the German chemist, Richard Vonwiller in 1887 and was subsequently named after him.

Rosaniline is used in various fields such as medicine and chemistry. In medicine, it is used as a dye for the histological diagnosis of tumors of the adrenal glands, ovaries, breast and thyroid glands. In addition, rosaniline is an important dye for histochemical studies of many tissues and organs.

Rosaniline crystals are formed by the combination of aniline and thioacetonitrile, an important reagent in organic synthesis. The production of rosanin requires exposure to strong acids, since the product is stable only in an acidic environment.
