| 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline was used in preparing in-plane aligned nanofibers by the electrospinning technique. It was the starting reagent in the synthesis of 3-chloro-5-methylphenyl isocyanate. It was used to deposit polycrystalline thin films on Ag, Cu and Si by conventional and partially ionized beam deposition. |

| Uses | A red azoic dye. |
| General Description | Yellow needles or mustard yellow powder. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates and strong oxidizing agents. |
| Fire Hazard | Flash point data for 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline are not available; however, 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline is probably combustible. |
| Purification Methods | Crystallise the nitrotoluidine from EtOH. The acetyl and benzoyl derivatives have m 200o and 174o (EtOH) respectively. [Beilstein 12 IV 1809.] |
