N-METHYL-4,4'-METHYLENEDIANILINE

N-Methyl-4,4′-methylenedianiline (4-(4-aminobenzyl)-N-methylaniline) is a 4,4′-methylenedianiline derivative. It has been synthesized by the methylation of 4,4′-methylenedianiline using formaldehyde and characterized by ¹H NMR and mass spectrometry. It has been reported to be the one of the urinary metabolites during the in vivo metabolism of 4,4′-[¹⁴C]- methylenebis(N,N-dimethyl)benzamine (reduced Michler′s ketone, RMK) in Osborne-Mendel rats.
