Product Information

• Name: N2-Methyl-4-nitro-1,2-benzenediamine
• Synonyms: 2-Amino-5-(N-methylamino)nitrobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N2-Methyl-4-nitro-1,2-benzenediamine is a chemical compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of ceftazidime. It is produced by a catalytic reaction between tert-butyl nitrite and methyl iodide. This process has been shown to be efficient and environmentally friendly. The catalytic reaction takes place at room temperature in water, making it an attractive method for large scale production of pharmaceuticals with low toxicity. N2-Methyl-4-nitro-1,2-benzenediamine can be used as an active ester in the synthesis of aztreonam, which is a broad spectrum antibiotic.
