BENZIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE AR (for lab use) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This BENZIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE AR is of analytical grade and is meant for lab use. tThis organic compound is derived from Benzidine, an aromatic amine. This reagent is available as a powder which is slightly soluble in water. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is extensively used as a precursor in organic synthesis to generate various compounds. Derivatives of benzidine are used in the production of dyes. This compound reacts with 1-aminonaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid to produce the Congo red dye. Benzidine is also incorporated as a component of a test for cyanide. It is used to produce 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine, o-tolidine, o-dianisidine etc. Benzidine can furthermore be used in studies on its mechanisms of genotoxicity. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
