General Description

Brown powder.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

3,6-DIAMINOACRIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE is amphoteric. Reacts both as a weak acid and as a weak base.

Safety Profile

Poison by subcutaneous route. Questionable carcinogen. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and HCl. Used as a drug, as a Isinfectant, and as a topical antiseptic.

Purification Methods

It is first purified by precipitation of the free base by adding aqueous NH3 solution to an aqueous solution of the hydrochloride or hydrogen sulfate (see below), drying the precipitate and subliming at 0.01mm Hg [Müller & Crothers Eur J Biochem, 54 267 1975]. [Beilstein 22 H 487.]
