Benzenamine, 2,4-bis(1-methylethyl)-

Description:

Benzenamine, 2,4-bis(1-methylethyl)-, also known as 2,4-diisopropylaniline, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic amine structure. It features a benzene ring substituted with two isopropyl groups at the 2 and 4 positions and an amino group (-NH2) attached to the benzene. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct amine odor. It is relatively hydrophobic, exhibiting low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the isopropyl groups contributes to its steric bulk, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical processes. Benzenamine, 2,4-bis(1-methylethyl)- is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, and it may also serve as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. Safety considerations include potential skin and respiratory irritation, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
