Pararosaniline, Basic Red 9, or C.I. 42500 is an organic compound with the formula [(H2NC6H4)3C]Cl. It is a magenta solid with a variety of uses as a dye.[1] It is one of the four components of basic fuchsine. (The others are rosaniline, new fuchsine and magenta II.)[2] It is structurally related to other triarylmethane dyes called methyl violets including crystal violet, which feature methyl groups on nitrogen.
It is prepared by the condensation of aniline and para-aminobenzaldehyde. Alternative it arises from the oxidation of 4,4'-bis(aminophenyl)methane in the presence of aniline.
Use as an indicator and for staining
It is used to dye polyacrylonitrile fibers.
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.[3]
