Usage

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to amber liquid

Uses

N,N-Dimethyl-o-toluidine may be employed as starting reagent for the synthesis of roseoflavin.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. May be toxic by skin absorption and inhalation. Flash point near 180°F. May release toxic vapors when burned.

Reactivity Profile

N,N,2-Trimethylbenzenamine neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. generates hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Health Hazard

TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form.

The invention relates to a preparation method of an N-alkylated derivative of a primary amine compound. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a primary amine compound, an alcohol compound and a catalyst in a reactor, and heating to react for a period of time to generate an N-alkylated substituted tertiary amine compound; wherein the catalyst is a copper-cobalt bimetallic catalyst, and the carrier of the catalyst is Al2O3. According to the method, alcohol is adopted as an alkylating reagent and is low in price and easy to obtain, a byproduct is water, no pollution is caused to the environment, and the overall reaction atom economy is high; the catalyst is simple in preparation method, low in cost, high in reaction activity and good in structural stability; meanwhile, by using the copper-cobalt bimetallic catalyst, the use of strong base additives can be avoided, and the requirement on reaction equipment is low; and the reaction post-treatment is convenient, and the catalyst can be recycled and is environment-friendly.

CO2-tuned highly selective reduction of formamides to the corresponding methylamines

We herein describe an efficient, CO2-tuned and highly selective C-O bond cleavage of N-methylated formanilides. With easy-to-handle and commercially available NaBH4 as the reductant, a variety of formanilides could be turned into the desired tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. The role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments.
