Uses | 2-methyl-6-nitroaniline is a compound used in organic synthesis. Dyes and metabolites, environmental testing. |
Production method | The nitroo-o-methyl acetanilide obtained by nitration of o-methyl acetanilide with 70% nitric acid is heated to boiling together with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the reaction product is subjected to steam distillation to obtain 6-nitroo-toluidine with a yield of about 50%. |
