2,4,6-Trimethylaniline ( mesidine ) is an aromatic amine with three methyl groups (-CH ₃ ) and one amino group (-NH ₂ ) as substituents on the benzene ring . It belongs to the trimethylaniline group of substances . The common name mesidine is derived from mesitylene ( sym. Trimethylbenzene).

history

Mesidine was described by August Wilhelm von Hofmann in 1875 .

2,4,6-Trimethylaniline is produced by nitration of mesitylene and subsequent reduction.
