2,6-Dimethylaniline Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	clear yellow to red-brown liquid
Usage	Bupivacaine (B689560) impurity.
General Description	A liquid. Toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Slightly soluble in water. Used in pharmaceuticals, as dye intermediates and organic syntheses.
Air & Water Reactions	Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	2,6-Dimethylaniline reacts with strong oxidizing agents [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980 p. 964]. 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. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Health Hazard	May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Vapor or mist irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract; causes skin irritation. Absorption into body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which, in sufficient concentration, may cause cyanosis. Onset may be delayed 2-4 hours or longer. Exposure can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, damage to the eyes, and blood effects.
Fire Hazard	Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
