mauveine

The structure of mauveine was not fully identified until 1994.

It turned out to be the first aniline dye, mauveine.

The molecular structure of mauveine proved difficult to determine, finally being identified in 1994.

At the time of mauveine's discovery, aniline was expensive.

Fuchsine was another synthetic dye made shortly after mauveine.

He scaled up production of the new "mauveine", and commercialized it as the world's first synthetic dye.

From this came better gas plants and Perkin's purple dyes, such as Mauveine.

March - William Perkin first discovers an aniline dye, mauveine.

The first synthetic dye was William Perkin's mauveine in 1856, derived from coal tar.

Perkin called his amazing discovery 'mauveine'.

As mauveine faded easily, our contemporary understanding of mauve is as a lighter, less saturated color than it was originally known.

Mauveine Aniline dyes (first chemical dyes) were discovered in 1856 and quickly became fashionable colors.

Inventors developed new, cheap, bright dyes like mauveine which replaced the old animal or vegetable dyes.

His experiments produced instead the first synthetic aniline dye, a purple shade called mauveine, shortened simply to mauve.

By 1870, its great demand succumbed to newer synthetic colors in the synthetic dye industry launched by mauveine.

In 1879, Perkin showed mauveine B related to safranines by oxidative/reductive loss of the p-tolyl group.

After the discovery of mauveine, many new aniline dyes appeared (some discovered by Perkin himself), and factories producing them were constructed across Europe.

In 1856, the English chemist William Henry Perkin invented the first aniline dye, mauveine.

They satisfied themselves that they might be able to scale up production of the purple substance and commercialise it as a dye, which they called mauveine.

The new color quickly became fashionable, particularly after Queen Victoria wore a silk gown dyed with mauveine to the Royal Exhibition of 1862.

The school is named after William Perkin, and has adopted a mauve (purple) uniform and colour scheme, in tribute to his discovery of Mauveine.

Its first industrial-scale use was in the manufacture of mauveine, a purple dye discovered in 1856 by Hofmann's student Sir William Henry Perkin.

In 1856, whilst trying to synthesise quinine, von Hofmann's student William Henry Perkin discovered mauveine and went into industry producing the first synthetic dye.

During his time in England he improved the extraction of Mauveine from the residues of the synthesis and developed a synthesis for aniline red and other dyes.

He was knighted in 1906, and in the same year was awarded the first Perkin Medal, established to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his discovery of mauveine.
