Overview of M-Anisidine
M-Anisidine (3-Methoxyaniline) is an aromatic amine utilized for its role as a pharmaceutical intermediary, as well as a dye intermediate and chemical component in organic syntheses. It is renowned for its meta-substituted methoxy group, which provides unique electronic properties as well as reactivity. M-Anisidine is extensively used for the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
This compound appears as a yellowish to brown oily liquid or crystalline solid that darkens on exposure to air and light. Its electron-donating methoxy group influences the reactivity of the aromatic ring and amine functionality.
Related products include P-Anisidine, O-Anisidine, Ethyl Isonipecotate, and other substituted anilines used in pharmaceutical and dye synthesis.
