4-Aminodiphenylamine is a diphenylamine with an additional amine substituent. This dimer of aniline has various industrial uses, including as a hair dye ingredient, but also has raised concerns about toxicity by skin contact.^[1] It is also a starting material for the synthesis of 6PPD, an antiozonant for various rubber products.^[2] A colorimetric test for the quantitative analysis of nitrite, at levels below 100 nanograms per milliliter, is based on nitrite-catalyzed coupling of 4-aminodiphenylamine with N,N-dimethylaniline.^[3]

The most common route of industrial production is by the reaction of aniline with 4‑nitrochlorobenzene followed by reduction of the intermediate 4‑nitrodiphenylamine.^[4] An alternative is the direct condensation reaction of nitrobenzene with aniline via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen,^[5] this again requires a reduction step.^[4]
