Photographic processing

Bright yellow needles m.p. 45 C, b.p. 2 4°C. Prepared together with 4-nitrophenol by careful nitration of phenol. Sodium sulphide reduces it to 2-aminophenol which is used in dyestuffs and photographic processes. 

Metal salts of A-4-thiazoline-2-thione are used in the rubber industry Zn salts (123, 152), Pb and Mg salts (54). Cd salts (151, 324), Cu salts (325), in photographic processes (146). and in analysis (328). Zn, Ni, Co and Cd salts are used as germicides (329). Despite their wide range of application, little is known about their physical and chemical properties.

Tetrasodium hexakiscyanoferrate decahydrate [14434-22-1], Na4[Fe(CN)g] IOH2O, or yellow pmssiate of soda, forms yellow monoclinic crystals that are soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol. It is slightly efflorescent at room temperature, but the anhydrous material, tetrasodium hexakiscyanoferrate [13601 -19-9], Na4[Fe(CN)J, is obtained at 100°C. The decahydrate is produced from calcium cyanide, iron(II) sulfate, and sodium carbonate in a process similar to that for the production of K4[Fe(CN)g] 3H2O. It is used in the manufacture of trisodium hexakiscyanoferrate, black and blue dyes, as a metal surface coating, and in photographic processing. 

Polymers. AH nitro alcohols are sources of formaldehyde for cross-linking in polymers of urea, melamine, phenols, resorcinol, etc (see Amino RESINS AND PLASTICS). Nitrodiols and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol can be used as polyols to form polyester or polyurethane products (see Polyesters Urethane polymers). 2-Methyl-2-nitro-l-propanol is used in tires to promote the adhesion of mbber to tire cord (qv). Nitro alcohols are used as hardening agents in photographic processes, and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol is a cross-linking agent for starch adhesives, polyamides, urea resins, or wool, and in tanning operations (17—25). Wrinkle-resistant fabric with reduced free formaldehyde content is obtained by treatment with...
