General description

2-Methoxy-5-nitroaniline is an aromatic metabolite of 2,4-dinitroanisole.[1]

Application

2-Methoxy-5-nitroaniline was used in the synthesis of 5-(9-acridinylamino)-p-anisidines via reaction with 9-anilinoacridines.[2] It was also used in the synthesis of disazo disperse dyes containing nitro and methoxy groups, used for the dyeing of polyester fibre.[3]

2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is an insensitive munitions compound considered to replace conventional explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). DNAN undergoes facile microbial reduction to 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (MENA) and 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN). This study investigated the inhibitory effect of DNAN, MENA, and DAAN toward various

A series of 5-(9-acridinylamino)anisidines were synthesized by condensing methoxy-substituted 1,3-phenylenediamines (10 and 11) with 9-chloroacridine derivatives to form 5-(9-acridinylamino)-m-anisidines (AMAs, 14a-e) and 5-(9-acridinylamino)-o-anisidines (AOAs, 15a-e). 5-(9-Acridinylamino)-p-anisidines (APAs, 17a-e) were synthesized by reacting 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (12) with 9-anilinoacridines, followed by reduction.
