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. Alternatively, it arises from the oxidation of 4,4'-bis(aminophenyl)methane in the presence of aniline.

Uses

  • It is used to dye polyacrylonitrile fibers.
  • It is used to detect sulfur dioxide.[3]
  • 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.[4]
  • It has use as an Antischistosomal. [5]
