1,2-Ethanediamine, N-ethyl-N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-

Description:

1,2-Ethanediamine, N-ethyl-N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its amine functional groups and a substituted aromatic ring. This compound features a two-carbon ethylene diamine backbone, which is substituted with an ethyl group and a 4-methoxyphenylmethyl group. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit properties such as being hygroscopic and having moderate to high boiling points due to the presence of multiple functional groups. They may also participate in hydrogen bonding, affecting their physical properties like melting and boiling points. Additionally, the structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in organic synthesis, given the presence of both amine and aromatic functionalities. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as amines can be irritants and may pose health risks.
