THE CARBON COMPOUNDS. 409<br />

by heating a mixture <strong>of</strong> aniline, toluidine, and pseudotoluidine (socalled<br />

magenta-aniline) with arsenic acid or o<strong>the</strong>r oxidizing agents :—<br />

CgHjN + 2C7H,,N + 30 . CMHWN8 + 3H2O<br />

A hard mass is thus obtained, possessing <strong>the</strong> lustre <strong>of</strong> bronze, and<br />

containing arsenite and arsenate <strong>of</strong> rosaniline. It is purified by exhausting<br />

<strong>the</strong> melt with boiling water, and precipitating <strong>the</strong> solution<br />

•with soda; <strong>the</strong> precipitate is, after washing, dissolved in an acid, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> solution evaporated to crystallization.<br />

Bosaniline is also obtained by heating magenta-aniline with nitrobenzene<br />

:—<br />

C8H6.NO2 = ro$antiine&.'~-By heating rosaniUne or its acetate with methyl<br />

iodide and methyl-alcohol, hydrogen is replaced by methyl, and violet<br />

colours are produced, <strong>the</strong> shade <strong>of</strong> which is <strong>the</strong> bluer <strong>the</strong> more methyl<br />

groups are introduced. Tnmethyl-rosaniline combines with methyl<br />

iodide, forming rosaniline-tetrwrnethylamnumium iodide C^HjgNj<br />

(CHg)4I; <strong>the</strong> corresponding hydrochloride is obtained on <strong>the</strong> large
