2-Chloro-4-methylaniline

2-Chloro-4-methylaniline is a molecule that can be classified as an amine. It is a functional theory, which is a chemical ionization technique used to study the structure of molecules. 2-Chloro-4-methylaniline has been shown to have high metabolic profiles and to produce many metabolic products when it reacts with chlorine in the environment. This chemical has been studied extensively for its potential carcinogenic properties. It was found that 2-chloro-4-methylaniline causes DNA damage in human erythrocytes and induces mutations in calf thymus DNA, suggesting that this molecule may be carcinogenic. 2-Chloro-4-methylaniline also binds to hemoglobin, which may lead to the formation of methemoglobin that reduces oxygen transport in red blood cells. The matrix effect of this chemical on clinical pathology is not known.
