4-Chloro-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzenamine

Description:

4-Chloro-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzenamine, with the CAS number 940948-34-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom, a methoxy group, and an amino group. The presence of the chloro group introduces a halogen, which can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. The methoxy group (-OCH3) is an electron-donating group that can enhance the compound's nucleophilicity, while the amino group (-NH2) is a strong electron-donating substituent that can participate in hydrogen bonding and increase solubility in polar solvents. This compound may exhibit properties typical of amines, such as basicity and the ability to form salts. Its structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, the specific arrangement of substituents can affect its biological activity and interaction with other chemical entities. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
