o-Dianisidine is an organic compound with the formula [(CH3O)(H2N)C6H3]2. A colorless or white solid, it is a bifunctional compound derived via the benzidine rearrangement from o-anisidine.
o-Dianisidine is a precursor to some azo dyes by formation of the bis(diazonium) derivative, which is coupled to diverse aromatic compounds. Some commercial dyes derived from o-dianisidine include C. I. Direct Blue 1, 15, 22, 84, and 98.
The manufacture and degradation of o-dianisidine, like other benzidene derivatives, has attracted regulatory attention. It is also used as a reagent in biochemistry in testing for peroxides.
