2. It was used in the preparation of 2-acetoaminodiphenyl ether. It may be used in the preparation of 4-methyl-2-(2-phenoxyphenyl)azo-phenol.
Uses
2-Phenoxyaniline serves as an antiinflammatory agent that inhibits preferentially COX-2 over COX-1. It is used in the preparation of sodium primary amide complex, 4-methyl-2-(2-phenoxyphenyl)azo-phenol and 2-acetoaminodiphenyl ether. Further, it is used to form complexes with beta-cyclodextrin.
General Description
2-Phenoxyaniline forms crystalline 2:1 (host-to-guest) inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx.
