alpha,alpha-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-4-(methylamino)-benzenemethanol
![Chemical structure of alpha,alpha-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-4-(methylamino)-benzenemethanol, CAS 561-41-1](/assets/structures/CWLT600634.webp)
alpha,alpha-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-4-(methylamino)-benzenemethanol is a triarylmethane derivative related to the violet triphenylmethane colorants. The molecule is the carbinol form of the chromophore, meaning the central carbon carries a hydroxyl group rather than forming the coloured quinoid cation, which makes it relevant both as a dye intermediate and as a substance that may be encountered during purity or migration testing of coloured materials. Laboratories use such a standard for LC or LC-MS method development and validation, calibration, identification of the carbinol peak in dye samples, and confirmation of composition when colourant purity is assessed. Supplied as a very dark blue to very dark solid with the formula C24H29N3O and a molecular weight of 375.51, it is stored at -20 °C ± 5 °C and shipped with ice packs. Pack sizes of 1 mg, 2.5 mg and 25 mg are available. Please enquire for documentation or a quotation.
Also known as
dimethylamino; methylamino. Further pharmacopoeial and trivial names are recorded on the certificate of analysis.
