Application

2,6-Dimethylaniline can react with:
  • 1-Naphthaldehyde to form an intermediate, bis(4-amino-3,5-dimethylphenyl)naphthylmethane (BADN) to further form bis(4-maleimido-3,5-dimethylphenyl)naphthylmethane (BMDN) by reacting with maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate.
  • n-Butyllithium to form lithium 2,6-dimethylanilide, which can be utilized to form various RhII anilide complexes.

A novel aromatic diamine containing pyridyl side group, 4-pyridine-4,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-5-aminophenyl)methane (PyDPM), was successfully synthesized via electrophilic substitution reaction. The polyimides (PIs) containing pyridine were obtained via the microwave-assisted one-step polycondensation of the PyDPM with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenylether

Several alkylanilines with structures more complex than toluidines have been associated epidemiologically with human cancer. Their mechanism of action remains largely undetermined, and there is no reported evidence that it replicates that of multicyclic aromatic amines even though the principal
