New fuchsine, (from German "fuchs", fox) is an organic compound]] with the formula [(CH3N(H)CH3CCH3)3C]Cl. It is a magenta-colored solid that is used as a dye. It is one of the four components of basic fuchsine, and one of the two that are available as single dyes.[1] The other is pararosaniline.
It is prepared by condensation of N-methyltoluidine with xylidene in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
Use as dye and stain
It is used to dye polyacrylonitrile, paper, and leather.[2]
New fuchsine can be used for staining acid fast organism, e.g. by Ziehl-Neelsen stain, and for making Schiff's reagent. As a primary amine, the dye can be diazotized in the laboratory, and the resulting diazonium salt used as a trapping agent in enzyme histochemistry.[3]
