| 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | The chloromethylanilines are colorless or white crystalline solids or liquids, some have a mild fishy odor. |
| Chemical Properties | brown solid |
| Uses | 2-Chloro-4-aminotoluene has been used in the preparation of 2-chloro-4-cyanotoluene by Sandmeyer reaction with cuprous cyanide. |
| Definition | ChEBI: A monochloroaniline that is p-toluidine in which one of the hydrogens that is meta to the amino group is replaced by a chlorine. |
| General Description | Brown solid with a mild odor. |
| Air & Water Reactions | May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline may react with oxidizing agents. 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and chloroformates. 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline is also incompatible with reducing agents. |
| Fire Hazard | 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline is combustible. |
| Safety Profile | Poison by ingestion, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl and NOx. See also other chloro toluidme entries. |
| Potential Exposure | Most of the isomers are used in dyestuff manufacture. The 3-chloro-para isomer is used to kill birds. It is marketed as pelleted bait for control of bird populations. |
