N-Isopropylaniline Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear light yellow liquid

Uses

Dyeing of acrylic fibers and as a chemical intermediate

Uses

N-Isopropylaniline is a microbial metabolite of Propachlor (P757300), an acylanilide herbicide that is used to maintain crop protection from weeds. Propachlor is also known to induce Glutathione (G597951)-dependent cytotoxicity and sister chromatid exchanges in human cells.

General Description

N-isopropylaniline is a clear brown liquid. (NTP, 1992)

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

N-Isopropylaniline neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Hazard

Toxic by inhalation and skin absorption.

Health Hazard

N-isopropylaniline absorption causes methemoglobinemia in animals, and the same effect is expected in humans.

Fire Hazard

N-Isopropylaniline is combustible.
