CAS 823-40-5

2,6-Diaminotoluene

Description:

2,6-Diaminotoluene, with the CAS number 823-40-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic amines. It features two amino groups (-NH2) attached to a toluene ring at the 2 and 6 positions, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature, exhibiting a crystalline structure and is often characterized by its light yellow to brown color. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 2,6-Diaminotoluene is primarily used in the production of dyes, pigments, and as a curing agent in polyurethane formulations. Due to the presence of amino groups, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution and condensation reactions. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as aromatic amines can pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.

2,6-Diaminotoluene

CAS: 823-40-5

2,6-Diaminotoluene (2,6-TDA), also known as o-tolidine, is a colorless to yellowish crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. This compound has been shown to be genotoxic and carcinogenic in laboratory animals. 2,6-TDA binds to the receptor molecule of DNA and inhibits the repair of DNA strand breaks, leading to mutations and cancerous cells. 2,6-TDA has been shown to have toxic effects on fetal bovine kidney cells at low doses. The toxicity studies showed that 2,6-TDA inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. This study also shows that 2,6-TDA inhibits protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
