N-Methyl-o-toluidine

Description:

N-Methyl-o-toluidine, with the CAS number 611-21-2, is an organic compound belonging to the class of aromatic amines. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of an o-toluidine structure, which consists of a toluene ring with an amino group in the ortho position relative to the methyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinct aromatic odor. N-Methyl-o-toluidine is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and other chemical intermediates. Due to its amine functionality, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic reactions. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects and skin sensitization. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with N-Methyl-o-toluidine in laboratory or industrial settings.
