Description:2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline, also known as o-methoxy-m-toluidine, is an aromatic amine characterized by the presence of both a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to a benzene ring. The methoxy group is located at the ortho position relative to the amino group (-NH2), while the methyl group is at the meta position. 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 such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as aromatic amines can pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
