Description:4-Ethylaniline, with the CAS number 589-16-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of anilines, which are aromatic amines. It features an ethyl group attached to the para position of the aniline structure, which consists of a benzene ring bonded to an amino group (-NH2). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. 4-Ethylaniline is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It can undergo typical reactions of amines, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution and acylation. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with 4-ethylaniline in laboratory or industrial settings.
