N,N-Dimethylphenylenediamine (dimethyl-4-phenylenediamine) is an organic compound with the formula H2NC6H4N(CH3)2. It is one of the phenylenediamines, a class of compounds that have long attracted attention for their redox properties. This diamine is, for example, easily oxidized to a deep red radical cation, [H2NC6H4N(CH3)2]+ which is called Wurster's Red. The related Wurster's Blue cation has four N-methyl groups (CH3)2NC6H4N(CH3)+2
