Abstract
The oxidation of aniline hydrochloride by ammonium peroxydisulfate in on-aqueous media was studied, when themonomer or oxidant or both were not completely soluble. Polyaniline was formed in acetone, methanol and toluene.
Aniline oligomers only were produced in chloroform and n-butylacetate. No interaction of the monomer and the oxidant was observed in dimethylsulfoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone.
UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectra were recorded in order to study themolecular structure of the final products. Conductivity was measured for conducting protonated forms and corresponding bases.
An explanation of aniline hydrochloride oxidation in various organicmedia is offered.
