4,5-Dichloro-2-methylaniline, with the CAS number 2387-08-8, is an organic compound belonging to the class of anilines, which are aromatic amines. This substance features a benzene ring substituted with two chlorine atoms at the 4 and 5 positions and a methyl group at the 2 position, along with an amino group (-NH2). It is typically a solid at room temperature and may appear as a crystalline or powdery substance. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical syntheses, including the production of dyes and agrochemicals. 4,5-Dichloro-2-methylaniline is also characterized by its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many chlorinated aromatic compounds. Safety considerations are important, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate handling procedures should be followed to minimize exposure.
