Description:4-Butylaniline, also known as p-Butylaniline, is an aromatic amine characterized by the presence of a butyl group attached to the para position of an aniline molecule. Its molecular formula is C10H15N, and it features a benzene ring bonded to an amino group (-NH2) and a butyl substituent. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic but polar nature. 4-Butylaniline is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity as an amine. It can undergo various chemical reactions, including acylation and alkylation, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. However, like many aromatic amines, it may pose health risks, including potential carcinogenicity, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in industrial and laboratory settings.
