Reaction Steps

N′,N′-dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine (10 g, 0.0735 mols) was added to a round bottom flask. To this was added de-ionised water (160 ml) and methanol (40 ml) and the solution was then cooled to 5° C. Sodium thiosulfate (20 g, 0.0808 mols) in water (20 ml) was added to the solution in one aliquot. Sodium persulfate (17.5 g, 0.0735 mols) in water (40 ml) was added drop-wise over a 15 minute period. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 5° C. and then warmed to 22° C. over a period of 1 hour. The dark solid which precipitated was collected via filtration. The black solid was washed with water (50 ml) then dried at 40° C. for 16 hours, 7.88 g (43%).
