2,4-Diaminoanisole sulfate.

Abstract

A synthetic, off-white to violet solid that is soluble in water and ethanol. It is used primarily as a component of oxidizing 'permanent' hair- and fur-dye formulations. 2,4-Diaminoanisole sulfate is also used as an intermediate in the production of C.I. Basic Brown 2, a dye commonly used in numerous consumer products. The primary routes of potential human exposure to 2,4-diaminoanisole sulfate are dermal contact and inhalation. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
