在十九世纪中叶，人们了解到，煤焦油的蒸馏产生了苯和甲苯的混合物，可以用来制造“苯胺”。用重铬酸盐氧化得到了第一种合成的苯胺染料--紫草碱。第二种苯胺染料是深红色的，现在被命名为品红或品红。这种染料是用相同的起始原料，但不同的氧化剂，如氯化锡、硝酸汞、砷酸和硝基苯制备的。与现在成为化学珍品的紫薇不同，品红仍被用作生物着色剂，特别是在席夫检测醛的试剂中，工业上用作染料，对从纺织纤维到圆珠笔墨水的各种材料进行着色，分析上用作薄层色谱的可视化试剂，以及用作抗真菌试剂。
During the mid-nineteenth century, it was learned that the distillation of coal tar yielded a mixture of benzene and toluene that could be used for the manufacture of "anilines.'' Oxidation with dichromate led to the first synthetic aniline dye, mauveine. The second aniline dye, a crimson red color, now is named fuchsine or magenta. This dye was prepared using the same starting material, but different oxidants, e. g., tin chloride, mercury nitrate, arsenic acid, and nitrobenzene. Unlike mauveine, which is now a chemical curiosity, fuchsine is still in use as a biological stain, especially in Schiff's reagent for detecting aldehydes, industrially as a dye in coloring various materials from textile fibers to ball point pen inks, analytically as a visualization agent for thin layer chromatography, and as an antifungal agent.
