3-Amino-2,6-dimethylphenol

Description:

3-Amino-2,6-dimethylphenol, with the CAS number 6994-64-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and two methyl groups (-CH3) attached to a phenolic ring. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may vary. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. The amino group contributes to its basicity and potential for forming salts with acids. 3-Amino-2,6-dimethylphenol is often used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds, owing to its functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to understand its handling, storage, and potential hazards.
