Chemical Properties
clear orange-red to brownish liquid
Uses
4-tert-Butylaniline reacts with formic acid to produce formic acid-(4-tert-butyl-anilide). This reaction could happen in the presence of the solvent of toluene in the condition of heating. 4-tert-Butylaniline is used in the synthesis of 4-tert-Butyl-4,4-dinitrotriphenylamine, new triphenylamine-containing diamine monomer and 2-oxopyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one.
Application
4-tert-Butylaniline is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. It plays a role in the production of complex organic compounds necessary for drug formulation.
General Description
Schiff base formation reaction between 4-
tert-butylaniline and 4-
tert-butylbenzaldehyde in ethanol has been carried out using the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-chip system.
Hazard
4-tert-Butylaniline causes severe skin burns and eye damage, it is harmful if swallowed.
