Disperse Yellow 42, or 4-anilino-3-nitrobenzenesulfonanilide, is a disperse dye that is primarily used to dye polyester fibers. It is prepared by the reaction of two equivalents of aniline with 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. An estimated 10,000 tons were prepared in 1990, making Disperse Yellow 42 the nitro dye produced on the largest scale.{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a17_383|title=Nitro and Nitroso Dyes|year=2000|last1=Raue|first1=Roderich|last2=Corbett|first2=John F.|isbn=3527306730}}{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/0143-7208(92)80044-N|title=An approach to the design of lightfast disperse dyes-analogs of disperse yellow 42|year=1992|last1=Freeman|first1=Harold S.|last2=Posey|first2=James C.|journal=Dyes and Pigments|volume=20|issue=3|pages=171–195}}
