Description
2-Chloro-4-methylaniline was used in determination of aniline derivatives in environmental water samples using on-line combination of supported liquid membrane extraction and liquid chromatography. It was also used in determination of amines in environmental water samples by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. It is an intermediate used to prepare reverse transcriptase inhibitors of HIV-1.
Chemical Properties
clear yellow to pale brown liquid
Chemical Properties
The chloromethylanilines are colorless or
white crystalline solids or liquids, some have a mild
fishy odor.

Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion. A
severe eye and skin irritant. Mutation data
reported. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of Cland NOx. See also
other chloro toluidine entries.
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.
