N-Ethyl-4-methylaniline, with the CAS number 622-57-1, is an organic compound belonging to the class of anilines, which are aromatic amines. It features a substituted aniline structure, where an ethyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom and a methyl group is positioned on the para (4) carbon of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. N-Ethyl-4-methylaniline is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and other organic compounds. It may also serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many anilines, it can pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, and may be harmful if ingested or inhaled. Proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.

N-Ethyl-4-methylaniline is a protonated amine with the chemical formula CH3CH2NHCH2CH2NH2. It can be produced in two isomeric forms, the cis and trans. Cis N-ethyl-4-methylaniline is more potent than trans N-ethyl-4-methylaniline. The cis form is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for the manufacture of other drugs. The cis form of N-ethyl-4-methylaniline has been shown to have genotoxic properties and impurities that are regulated by governmental agencies due to their carcinogenic potential. This compound can be synthesized by reacting acetone with ethyl bromide in the presence of copper chloride, followed by hydrolysis with water.
