CAS 6310-21-0: 2-tert-Butylaniline

2-tert-Butylaniline

2-tert-Butylaniline is a chemical compound with the formula C6H4(CH3)2N. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents, but not water. 2-tert-Butylaniline can be synthesized by the reaction of anilines with hydrochloric acid and an organic solvent. The reaction mechanism involves nucleophilic attack of the chlorine atom on the aromatic ring followed by proton transfer to the aniline nitrogen. 2-tert-Butylaniline can also be synthesized from diphenyl ether and ammonia, which react to form 2-tert-butylaniline and water. The molecular modelling of this compound has been studied extensively by crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure reveals that the molecule has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with two tertiary amines at axial positions and one quaternary ammon
