N -ethylaniline is a chemical compound belonging to the aminobenzenes group .

Extraction and presentation

N -ethylaniline can be obtained by alkylating aniline with ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid.

{\ displaystyle \ mathrm {C_ {6} H_ {5} NH_ {2} + C_ {2} H_ {5} OH \ longrightarrow \ C_ {6} H_ {5} NC_ {2} H_ {5} + H_ { 2} O}}

The reaction of aniline hydrochloride with ethanol is also possible.

properties

N -Ethylaniline is a colorless liquid with a sweet, aromatic aniline-like odor that is sparingly soluble in water. It decomposes when heated, producing aniline and nitrous gases .

use

N- Ethylaniline is used in the manufacture of dyes and pharmaceuticals.

safety instructions

The vapors of N -ethylaniline can form an explosive mixture with air ( flash point 85 ° C, ignition temperature 350 ° C).
