4,4′-Thiodianiline (TDA) is the organosulfur compound with the formula (H2NC6H4)2S. It is classified as a diamine and a thioether. It typically appears as an (off-)white solid powder. An analogue of TDA is the drug dapsone, for which the sulphur species is oxidised.

Synthesis

[edit]

Sulfur is boiled in excess aniline over several hours to produce three isomers (1,1′; 1,4; 4,4′) of TDA.[1] The same journal documents syntheses of similar and overlapping compounds by Merz and Weith in 1871, and K. A. Hoffman in 1894. A study by Nietzki and Bothof[2] shows indications that including an oxide of lead may maximize the yield of the 4,4′ variant that this page refers to.

Uses

[edit]

TDA was used as a chemical intermediate in the production of three dyes: CI mordant yellow 16, milling red G and milling red FR, as well as the medicine Dapsone. TDA has also been used in the synthesis of polyimine vitrimers.[3]

Production

[edit]

TDA is no longer produced in the USA.

Toxicity

[edit]

TDA has caused mutations in some strains of Salmonella typhimurium and has caused tumors in laboratory mice and rats.
