TSB CARBON COMPOUNDS. 323
mixture of aniline and aniline hydrochloride is heated under pressure.
It is a crystalline solid, melting at 46°, boiling at 310°, and
possessing a peculiar smell, like flowers. With acids it forms salts,
which are decomposed by water. With nitric acid it yields an
intensely blue liquid.
Methyl-pkmyl-aniliM ClH5 >N ia formed by acting with methylaniline
on aniline hydrochloride at 280° for thirty-six hours. It is a
liquid, boiling at 270°, and yielding, when heated with hexachloretnene,
a magnificent blue-violet colouring matter.
WO
Diphenylaniliw or triphenylamine C8Hg vN.—Potassium dissol
readily in aniline, forming the compounds C6H8.NHK and C0IL.NKj,
which, when heated with bromobenzene, are converted into phenylaniline
and diphenylaniline. It is a solid, crystallizing from petroleum-spirit
in thick, large plates, melting at 126°, and boiling at a
very high temperature. It has no basic properties, and gives, with
oxidizing agents, blue or green colorations.
ANIL1DES.
Just as the ammonium-salts of many acids are resolved by heat
into water and an amide, the salts of aniline yield by the same re-
action anilides.
{ COH
JT is produced "by healing aniline with
ethyl formate, aa well as when aniline oxalate is quickly heated, It
forms colourless crystals, melting at 46°. It is freely soluble in hot
water, and yields, by distillation with hydrochloric acid, benzonitrile
