2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline

Ref. 3D-FM38687

Product Information

• Name: 2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline is a monomer that belongs to the class of methoxy compounds. It has been shown to have antioxidative activity, which is related to its ability to break the C-O bond in peroxyl radicals. This process leads to the formation of an alkene and a hydroxyl radical. 2-Methoxy-6-methylaniline can also be used as a synthon for other organic compounds or as a model system for studying the oxidation of hydrocarbons. The reaction mechanism involves nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion on the double bond, leading to bond cleavage and formation of an unsymmetrical molecule.
