2-Chloro-5-methylaniline Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White solid

Chemical Properties

The chloromethylanilines are colorless or white crystalline solids or liquids, some have a mild fishy odor.

Uses

2-Chloro-5-methylaniline is used in the synthesis and preparation of acylthiourea derivative for potential used of anti-viral agents against vaccinia and La Crosse viruses.

Potential Exposure

Most of the isomers are used in dyestuff manufacture. The 3-chloro-para isomer is used to kill birds. It is marketed as pelleted bait for control of bird populations.
