o-Toluidine

Description:
o-Toluidine, also known as 2-toluidine, is an aromatic amine characterized by its molecular formula C7H9N. It features a methyl group (–CH3) and an amino group (–NH2) attached to a benzene ring, specifically at the ortho position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. o-Toluidine is primarily used in the production of dyes, rubber chemicals, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It is important to note that o-toluidine is considered hazardous; it is a potential carcinogen and can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon exposure. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when handling this substance. Additionally, its reactivity allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution and acylation, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis.
