light red or light yellow oily liquid that turns light brown when exposed to air. The relative density was 1. 0923. Boiling point 224 °c. Melting point 6.2 °c. Refractive index 1. 5730, flammable. Can be volatilized with steam. Soluble in dilute inorganic acid, ethanol and ether, water-soluble.
O-nitrochlorobenzene is used as a raw material to carry out methoxylation reaction with methanol and sodium hydroxide to generate O-nitroanisole, which is then reduced with sodium sulfide. The reaction product is separated and the residue is removed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product O-aminoanisole.
can be used for the preparation of azo dyes, ice dyes and chromophenol AS-OL and other dyes as well as guaiacol, anliping medicine. Vanillin can also be prepared.

Application | O-methoxyaniline as a dye intermediate for the dye industry: used as a corrosion inhibitor for steel preservation; Used as an antioxidant for some resins; in some European countries, it is used in the manufacture of medicinal products and chemical textiles. |
exposure route | workers engaged in the production of azo dyes may be poisoned by exposure to this substance; it was also found to contain O-methoxyaniline in cigarette smoke, so smoking may lead to poisoning; O-methoxyaniline was found in the emissions of chemical plants and petroleum refineries. |
Use | used as dye, perfume and pharmaceutical intermediates can be used in the preparation of azo dyes, ice dye and phenol AS-OL and other dyes and guaiacol, Anli equal medicine. Vanillin can also be prepared. as an intermediate of medicine and dye, it is also used in the preparation of vanillin in the food industry as a complexing indicator for the determination of Mercury, an intermediate of azo dye and a bactericide, a dye, perfume and pharmaceutical intermediates microcrystallite analysis to examine cyanide. Mercury is titrated with a complexing indicator. Organic Synthesis. |
production method | It is obtained by reduction of O-nitroanisole, which can be obtained by O-nitrochlorophenoxy [91-23-6], the reducing agent may be sodium sulfide or iron powder. In addition, O-methoxyaniline can also be prepared from O-nitrophenol by methylation and reduction. Raw material consumption quota: O-nitrochlorobenzene 1301kg/t, methanol (98%)395kg/t, sodium sulfide (60%)1128kg/t, caustic soda (96%)457kg/t. |
