Abstract
The oxidation of p-toluidine in H+/H2O can give mainly a tetramer, a trimer, or a mixture of both. The outcome is dependent upon the oxidant, the pH and the concentration of p-toluidine. Both the trimer and tetramer are definitively characterised by X-ray single crystal structure determination.
