Overview | N-methylaniline is the main product in the N-alkyl Arylamine series and is an important intermediate in fine chemicals. It is widely used. The first set of production equipment in China was aided by the former Soviet Union in the 50's. The products are mainly used in the production of explosives, which are commonly used in the blending of straight-run gasoline, therefore, some technicians use straight-run gasoline as the base oil of blended gasoline, and increase the octane number by adding N-methyl aniline, so as to achieve the purpose of saving investment and high efficiency. |
Introduction | N-methylaniline colorless oily liquid at room temperature. Soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, insoluble in water, not easy to evaporative loss, but is not conducive to the distribution of multi-cylinder engine cylinder. Stable nature, in the air and dark environment is not easy to decompose. The main features of blended gasoline added with N-methyl aniline antiknock agent are odor, high density, unstable unwashed colloid, low olefin value, and need to be assisted with antiknock agents such as MTBE and MMT. |
Application | N-methylaniline is a widely used fine chemical product, mainly used in the production of pesticides, dyes, dye Intermediates, rubber additives and explosives, and can be used as solvents and acid acceptors, as intermediates in organic synthesis, acid absorbents and solvents. The dye industry is used for the production of cationic brilliant red FG, cationic Pink B, activated yellow brown KGR, etc. It can also be used to improve the octane number of gasoline and organic synthesis, and can also be used as a solvent. |
properties | colorless to reddish brown oily flammable liquid. Soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, water-soluble. Placement of gradient yellow. |
Application | used as a dye intermediate N-methylaniline is both a raw material for the insecticide Buprofezin, it is used for the synthesis of its intermediate N-chloromethyl N-phenylcarbamoyl chloride, and is also an intermediate of the herbicide benzoylamine. In addition, it is widely used in the dye industry. The product is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, an acid absorbent and a solvent, and is used in the production of cationic brilliant red FG, cationic Pink B, activated yellow brown KGR and the like in the dye industry. N-methylaniline is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, an acid absorbent and a solvent, and in the dye industry for the production of cationic brilliant red FG, cationic Pink B, activated yellow brown KGR, etc. |
production method | There are several methods: aniline vapor is mixed with dimethyl ether, the reaction was carried out at 230-295 °c. N-methylaniline was synthesized from aniline and methanol in the presence of lead-zinc-chromium catalyst. Then methanol, water, aniline and N,N-dimethylaniline were removed by distillation to obtain N-methylaniline product. The reaction can also be carried out in the presence of phosphorus trichloride (aniline: methanol: phosphorus trichloride = 1:0.9:0.003mol). In laboratory preparations, dimethyl sulfate may be used as the methylating agent. Dimethyl sulfate was added dropwise to a mixture of 10% or less aniline and water, stirred for 1H, and then added dropwise with a 30% sodium hydroxide solution. The upper organic phase was separated by standing, and the lower layer was extracted with benzene. After the benzene was recovered from the extract, the resulting oily matter was combined with the organic phase, I .e., a mixture of aniline, N-methylaniline and N,N-dimethylaniline. The mixture was treated with sulfuric acid. The mixture was treated with sulfuric acid to filter out crystals of aniline-forming sulfate. N,N-dimethylaniline can be converted to N-methylaniline by the following reaction with acetic anhydride. Industrial N-methyl aniline content is greater than or equal to 98%. Raw material consumption quota: aniline 1200kg/t, methanol 700kg/t. N-methyl aniline mainly has the following several synthesis methods. The crude N-methylaniline was formed from aniline and methanol under the action of copper, zinc and chromium catalyst, and then methanol, water, aniline and N,N-dimethylaniline were removed by distillation to obtain crude N-methylaniline, the product was then distilled under vacuum. Aniline was reacted with dimethyl sulfate. Dimethyl sulfate was added dropwise to a mixture of aniline and water at 10 ° C. Or lower, stirred for 1H, and then added dropwise with a 30% sodium hydroxide solution. The layer was separated by standing, the upper layer was organic phase, and the lower layer was extracted with benzene, After the extraction of benzene, the resulting oil was combined with the organic phase to obtain a mixture of aniline, N-methylaniline and N,N-dimethylaniline. The mixture was treated with sulfuric acid to filter out crystals of aniline-forming sulfate. N,N-dimethylaniline can be converted to N-methylaniline by the following reaction. |
