CAS 3846-50-2

2,4-Dinitro-N-ethylaniline

Description:

2,4-Dinitro-N-ethylaniline, with the CAS number 3846-50-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic amine structure. It features two nitro groups (-NO2) positioned at the 2 and 4 positions on a benzene ring, which significantly influence its chemical reactivity and properties. The presence of the ethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom enhances its solubility in organic solvents. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is known for its potential applications in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and other organic compounds. Due to the nitro groups, it exhibits strong electron-withdrawing properties, which can affect its reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2,4-Dinitro-N-ethylaniline may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal in accordance with safety regulations. Its toxicity profile and potential effects on human health and the environment should be considered in any application or research involving this compound.
