Q

Define dyes.

A

-colored substance that chemically bonds to the substrate to which it is being applied.
-this distinguishes dyes from pigments that do not chemically bind to the material they color.
-the dye is generally applied in an aqueous solution, and may require a mordant to improve fastness of the dye on the fiber.
-not all colored organic substances are dyes.
-only organic molecules of considerable complexity are useful as dyes.

40
Q

The study of —– and —- also laid the groundwork for the rise of synthetic dye use. In —-, coal tar was not widely used. However, it still attracted the attention of a lot of chemists as being a source of new organic compounds.

In —-, teenager ——– accidentally discovered a dye he called mauve while trying to make QUININE in his home lab.

A

1856, William Henry Perkin

42
Q

What exactly happened in William Henry Perkin’s experiment that led to his discovery of mauve?

A

Perkin was trying to convert an artificial base into natural alkaloid quinine. Instead of getting a colorless quinine, he ended up with a reddish powder. This intrigued him and he decided to experiment further. He tried adding aniline - a different base with a simpler construction. This created a perfectly black product. After purification, drying, and washing it with alcohol, Perkin had a MAUVE DYE.

43
Q

To develop large-scale production methods for his starting materials, William Henry Perkin built a factory at ———-. At first he called the dye ANILINE PURPLE, but following its success in France, it was renamed mauve (or mauveine), after the french word for the ——————.
