Mauveine, also known as aniline purple and Perkin's mauve, was the first synthetic organic chemical dye, discovered serendipitously in 1856. ==Chemistry== Mauveine is a mixture of four related aromatic compounds differing in number and placement of methyl groups. Its organic synthesis involves dissolving aniline, ''p''-toluidine, and ''o''-toluidine in sulfuric acid and water in a roughly 1:1:2 ratio, then adding potassium dichromate.〔''A Microscale Synthesis of Mauve'' Scaccia, Rhonda L.; Coughlin, David; Ball, David W. J. Chem. Educ. 1998 75 769 (Abstract )〕 Mauveine A (C26H23N4+X−) incorporates 2 molecules of aniline, one of ''p''-toluidine, and one of ''o''-toluidine. Mauveine B (C27H25N4+X−) incorporates one molecule each of aniline, ''p''-toluidine, and ''o''-toluidine. In 1879, Perkin showed mauveine B related to safranines by oxidative/reductive loss of the ''p''-tolyl group. In fact, safranine is a 2,8-dimethyl phenazinium salt, whereas the parasafranine produced by Perkin is presumed〔Website source: ch.ic.ac.uk (Link )〕 to be the 1,8-(or 2,9) dimethyl isomer. The molecular structure of mauveine proved difficult to determine, finally being identified in 1994. In 2007, two more were isolated and identified: mauveine B2, an isomer of mauveine B with methyl on different aryl group, and mauveine C, which has one more ''p''-methyl group than mauveine A.〔J.
