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.

Synthesis

5367-32-8

102-50-1

GENERAL PROCEDURE: 3-methyl-4-nitroanisole (1.0 mmol), B2(OH)4 (5.0 eq., 5.0 mmol) and H2O (3.0 mL) were added to a 10 mL reaction tube. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 8 hours. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the mixture was cooled to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 20 mL). The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 2-methyl-4-methoxyaniline.
