Description

N-Methyl-o-toluidine is an alkylating agent that can be used in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds. It is a carboxylate compound with a C=O group and an amine group, which makes it susceptible to autoprotolysis. N-Methyl-o-toluidine is used as a precursor for other compounds, such as dyes and pharmaceuticals. The exciplex formed between N-methyl-o-toluidine and nitrogen dioxide can be detected using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. This compound has been shown to have activation energy of 23 kcal/mol at temperatures above 100°C and below 300°C. Techniques used to measure the activation energy include butyllithium and supercritical fluid techniques.
