2,6-Dimethylaniline

Description:

2,6-Dimethylaniline, with the CAS number 87-62-7, is an organic compound belonging to the class of anilines, which are aromatic amines. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions and an amino group (-NH2) at the 1 position. 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 methyl groups. 2,6-Dimethylaniline is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in the production of rubber chemicals. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be toxic and may cause skin and respiratory irritation. Additionally, it is classified as a potential environmental hazard, necessitating proper disposal and management practices to mitigate its impact on health and the environment.

2,6-Dimethylaniline

CAS: 87-62-7

2,6-Dimethylaniline is a chemical inhibitor that binds to the active site of the enzyme p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of p-hydroxybenzoic acid to benzoic acid. 2,6-Dimethylaniline prevents this conversion, and thus limits the production of benzoic acid. The optimum concentration for 2,6-dimethylaniline is 0.1 mM in humans. 2,6-Dimethylaniline has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal studies. It also inhibits reaction mechanisms involving transfer reactions and polymerase chain reactions.
