2',4'-DIMETHYLACETANILIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

2′,4′-Dimethylacetanilide (N-acetyl-2,4-xylidine) may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of 5-acetamido-2,4-dimethylaniline.

General Description

2′,4′-Dimethylacetanilide (N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)acetamide) is an acetanilide derivative. Its carcinogenic effect has been studied on the liver in suckling mice. Its boiling point and melting point have been determined.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes ofNOx.
