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.[1]

o-Dianisidine is also used in assaying activity of peroxidase in lab. The general reaction of a peroxidase is as follows.

Where the ROOR' can be hydrogen peroxide, and the electron donor be o-dianisidine.

Direct Blue 1 is commercial dye, a derivative of o-dianisidine.

Safety

edit

The manufacture and degradation of o-dianisidine, like other benzidene derivatives, has attracted regulatory attention.[2] It is also used as a reagent in biochemistry in testing for peroxides.
