3-METHYL-4-NITROANILINE - Introduction
3-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline, chemical formula C7H8N2O2, is an organic compound. It is a yellow to orange crystal with the amino and methyl substituents of aniline, along with a nitro group.
3-Methyl-4-nitroaniline has some special properties. It can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, acetic acid and ethanol, but has a low solubility in water. It is stable at room temperature, but decomposes when heated or exposed to sunlight. The compound is sensitive to light and can change color when irradiated with ultraviolet light.
3-Methyl-4-nitroaniline has important uses in the dye and pigment industries. Because of its good dyeing performance and color stability, it is often used in the synthesis of dyes, such as the preparation of organic pigments and the production of dye intermediates. In addition, it can also be used as a synthetic intermediate for high-performance materials such as polyurethane.
Common methods for the preparation of 3-Methyl-4-nitroaniline include nitration and methylation of benzylamine. In the nitration reaction, benzylamine is first subjected to nitration reaction, and then the product is obtained by reduction reaction. In the methylation reaction of benzylamine, benzylamine is reacted with a methylating agent such as methyl iodide to give 3-Methyl-4-nitroaniline.
For safety information, 3-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline is a hazardous substance. Contact with the skin, eyes and respiratory tract may cause irritation and even injury. Therefore, appropriate safety measures, such as wearing protective gloves, goggles and respiratory protection equipment, should be taken when handling and storing the compound. At the same time, it should be avoided from contact with flammable materials to avoid fire accidents. Please observe the relevant safety operation and regulations.
