2-Methyl-4-methoxybenzenamine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

brick red crystals or liquid

Uses

4-Methoxy-2-methylaniline is a reagent used in organic synthesis of more complex compounds that have a more specific function. For example, enzyme inhibitors.

Definition

ChEBI: Meta-Cresidine is a member of methoxybenzenes.

General Description

Crystals or brick red liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-Methyl-4-methoxybenzenamine neutralizes acids in weakly exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Reacts with oxidizing agents .

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: 2-Methyl-4-methoxybenzenamine is a local irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. 2-Methyl-4-methoxybenzenamine is an experimental animal carcinogen.

Fire Hazard

2-Methyl-4-methoxybenzenamine is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
