CAS 16452-01-0: 3-Methoxy-4-methylaniline
Description:3-Methoxy-4-methylaniline, also known as p-cresol methoxy aniline, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both methoxy and methyl groups attached to an aniline structure. Its molecular formula is C9H13NO, indicating it contains nine carbon atoms, thirteen hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3-Methoxy-4-methylaniline may exhibit biological activity, which necessitates careful handling due to potential toxicity. As with many aniline derivatives, it is important to consider safety data sheets for proper handling and disposal, as well as to be aware of any regulatory guidelines pertaining to its use.
