Malachite green - malachite green

Japanese: マラカイトグリーン - まらかいとぐりーん(英語表記)malachite green
Malachite green - malachite green

A type of triphenylmethane basic dye, a blue-green pigment. It is also called aotake (green bamboo). It was named after its similar color to the pigment made from malachite. It is obtained by condensing benzaldehyde and dimethylaniline in the presence of hydrochloric or sulfuric acid to synthesize leucobase (4,4'-bisdimethylaminotriphenylmethane), which is then oxidized with lead dioxide and acid. It directly dyes silk and wool blue-green, but is vulnerable to sunlight and alkali. Rather than textiles, it is used to dye wood, paper, miscellaneous goods, etc., as well as indicators and chemical analysis reagents. Because it is water-soluble, it can be used in place of insoluble lake pigments with precipitants such as metal salts.

Japanese:

トリフェニルメタン系塩基性染料の一種で、青緑色の色素。青竹(あおたけ)ともいわれる。くじゃく石malachiteからつくられる顔料の色に似ることから、この名がつけられた。ベンズアルデヒドとジメチルアニリンとを塩酸または硫酸の存在で縮合させ、ロイコベース(4,4'-ビスジメチルアミノトリフェニルメタン)を合成し、二酸化鉛と酸で酸化して得られる。絹、羊毛を青緑色に直接に染色するが、日光、アルカリに弱い。繊維用よりはむしろ、木材、紙、雑貨などの染色に、また、指示薬、化学分析用試薬などにも利用されている。水溶性であるので、金属塩などの沈殿剤で不溶性のレーキ顔料にかえて利用されることもある。
