2-ETHYL-6-METHYL-2-CHLOROACETANILIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

This product is white crystal, insoluble in water at room temperature, slightly soluble in ethanol, acetone and other solvents.

Uses

2-Ethyl-6-methyl-2-chloroacetanilide is an intermediate of the herbicides acetochlor, metolachlor and metolachlor.

Definition

ChEBI: N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide is an aromatic amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of chloroacetic acid with the amnio group of 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline. It is an aromatic amide and an organochlorine compound. It is functionally related to a chloroacetic acid.

Synthesis

2-Ethyl-6-methyl-2-chloroacetanilide is obtained by mixing xylene and chloroacetic acid and adding 2-methyl-6-ethylaniline.
