salting-out (with subsequrnt extraction of the product with methanol for the removal of ammonium bromide) gave about the same yield. The dye I1 was a very dark purple powder which did not melt or decompose at temperatures up to 340". It rapidly imparted a purple color to water, but was insoluble in the organic solvents that were tested. Analytical samples, dried a t about 95' at 5 mm., had the composition of the trihydrate. In a dialysis experiment it behaved exactly as did I. Anal. Calcd. for C & I Z & N ~ B & N ~ ~ :C, 35.79; H, 2.61; B, 2.02: Found: C,35.76; H, 2.89; B, 1.77. Coupling with &Naphthol.l*-The tetrazonium solution prepared, as described above, from 0.5 g. of benzidine2,2'diboronic acid was added with stirring to a cold solution of 0.54 g. of P-naphthol and 5 g. of sodium carbonate in 18 ml. of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide. The mixture was stirred in the ice-bath for two hours and then added with stirring to 30 ml. of 5% hydrochloric acid. The mixture was diluted with 25 ml. of ethanol and filtered hot. The red solid was dissolved in the minimum amount of Cellosolve (less than 5 ml.) and the solution was diluted with 5 ml. of ethanol and filtered hot. Water was added to the filtrate until the precipitation of the dye was complete, and the mixture was boiled to coagulate the solid. The solid was collected and dried at 95' at 5 mm. About 0.2 g. of a bright red powder, easily soluble in Cellosolve, less soluble in ethanol and insolubl: in water, was 01)tained; it deconiposed a t about 240 Anal.

Coupling with Acetoacetanilide.-The coupling procedure was a modification of that described by Linstedd and Wang.1' The tetrazonium solution prepared from 0.64 g. of the benzidine dihydrochloride was added over a period of fifteen minutes to a stirred mixture of 0.64 g. of acetoacetanilide, l g. of sodium acetate and 50 ml. of l?$ aqueous sodium hydroxide. The resulting mixture WLS stirred in an ice-bath overnight. The solid was separated by filtration and recrystallized three times from dilute ethanol. The bright yellow solid contained boron. I t was insoluble in water or aqueous sodium carbonate, but soluble in 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide. I t decomposed sharply a t !74-175' to give a black residue which melted a t 270-280 . Anal.

Summary Analogs of Trypan Blue and Evans Blue have been prepared by the coupling of tetrazotized benzidine-2,2'-diboronic acid with 1-amino-Snaphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid (H acid) and with 1amino-naphthol-5,7-disulfonic acid (Chicago acid), respectively. The dyes so obtained have the expected boron contents. Boron-containing dyes also have been prepared by coupling the benzidinediboronic acid with P-naphthol and with acetoacetanilide.
