Aniline (from Portuguese anil 'indigo shrub', and -ine indicating a derived substance) [6] is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 NH 2. Consisting of a phenyl group ( −C 6 H 5 ) attached to an amino group ( −NH 2 ), aniline is the simplest aromatic amine .
Aniline is a benzenoid compound. The NH 2 group attached to the benzene ring means that there is a lone pair of electrons that can enter into conjugation with the benzene ring resulting in delocalization in the aniline. Aniline absorbs in the K (220 - 250 nm) and the B (250 - 290 nm) bands exhibited by benzenoid compounds.
p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (NH 2) 2.This derivative of aniline is a white solid, but samples can darken due to air oxidation. [1] It is mainly used as a component of engineering polymers and composites like kevlar.
Diphenylamine is produced by the thermal deamination of aniline over oxide catalysts: 2 C 6 H 5 NH 2 → (C 6 H 5) 2 NH + NH 3. It is a weak base, with a K b of 10 −14. With strong acids, it forms salts. For example, treatment with sulfuric acid gives the bisulfate [(C 6 H 5) 2 NH 2] + [HSO 4] − as a white or yellowish powder with m.p. 123 ...
N-Methylaniline (NMA) is an aniline derivative. It is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 NH(CH 3). The substance is a colorless viscous liquid, Samples turn brown when exposed to air. The chemical is insoluble in water.
Acetanilide can be produced by reacting acetic anhydride with aniline: [7]. C 6 H 5 NH 2 + (CH 3 CO) 2 O → C 6 H 5 NHCOCH 3 + CH 3 COOH. The preparation used to be a traditional experiment in introductory organic chemistry lab classes, [8] but it has now been widely replaced by the preparation of either paracetamol or aspirin, both of which teach the same practical techniques (especially ...
Below is a laboratory synthesis of 4-nitroaniline from aniline. The key step in this reaction sequence is an electrophilic aromatic substitution to install the nitro group para to the amino group. The amino group can be easily protonated and become a meta director. Therefore, a protection of the acetyl group is required.
N,N-Dimethylaniline (DMA) is an organic chemical compound, a substituted derivative of aniline. It is a tertiary amine, featuring a dimethylamino group attached to a phenyl group. This oily liquid is colourless when pure, but commercial samples are often yellow. It is an important precursor to dyes such as crystal violet.
