Etymology

The term 'aniline' originates from the French word 'aniline,' which itself is derived from the Latin word 'analina,' referring to indigo, a dye obtained from plants. The compound was first discovered in the early 19th century, around 1826, by the German chemist Otto Unverdorben while he was attempting to synthesize indigo. Unverdorben observed that when he distilled indigo with potash, he produced a new compound that would later be termed aniline. Over the years, aniline became significant in the dye manufacturing industry, and its applications broadened into various fields like pharmaceuticals and plastics. Its unique properties and structure led to extensive research and usage, especially after the development of chemical synthesis techniques in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The industrialization of aniline production paralleled the growth of synthetic organic chemistry, making it a staple in numerous chemical processes.
