N-Butyl-3,5-dimethylbenzenamine

Description:

N-Butyl-3,5-dimethylbenzenamine, with the CAS number 13342-26-2, is an organic compound characterized by its amine functional group and a substituted aromatic ring. It features a butyl group attached to a benzene ring that has two methyl groups located at the 3 and 5 positions, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct amine odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. N-Butyl-3,5-dimethylbenzenamine is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and may serve as a curing agent or hardener in epoxy resins. Its chemical reactivity is influenced by the presence of the amine group, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as amines can be irritants to the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to minimize environmental impact.
