white to light tan crystalline solid
Manufacture of dyes, organic synthesis.
ChEBI: 2,4,5-Trimethylaniline is a substituted aniline.
White crystals or beige powder.
2,4,5-TRIMETHYLANILINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 2,4,5-TRIMETHYLANILINE emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.
Flash point data for 2,4,5-TRIMETHYLANILINE are not available; however, 2,4,5-TRIMETHYLANILINE is probably combustible.
Confirmed carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic and
tumorigenic data. Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Mutation data reported. When
heated to decomposition it emits toxic
fumes of NOx. Used as a dye, pigment, and
printing ink. See also ANILINE DYES.
