Product Overview
N-Methylaniline is a vital secondary amine compound widely utilized in the chemical industry for various organic synthesis applications. As a key building block, it serves primarily as an intermediate in the production of agricultural chemicals, including specific pesticide formulations such as Mefenacet and Buprofezin. Our facility adheres to rigorous manufacturing standards to ensure consistent quality and reliability for large-scale industrial operations. This chemical is essential for manufacturers requiring high-purity raw materials to maintain the efficacy of their downstream products.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Understanding the physical characteristics of N-Methylaniline is crucial for safe handling and process integration. The compound typically presents as a colorless to yellowish oily liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It possesses a molecular formula of C7H9N and a molecular weight of approximately 107.15 g/mol. The boiling point is recorded at 196.2 degrees Celsius at 760 mmHg, while the melting point remains around minus 57 degrees Celsius. With a density of roughly 1.0 g/cm3 and a flash point of 78.9 degrees Celsius, appropriate safety measures must be implemented during storage and transportation to mitigate fire hazards and ensure workplace safety.
Quality Specifications
We offer multiple purity grades to meet diverse industrial requirements, ensuring that impurities such as water, aniline, and dimethylaniline are kept to minimal levels. Our quality control team performs batch testing to verify compliance with international standards. The following table outlines the key quality indices for our standard offerings:
| Parameter | 99% Grade | 99.5% Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Colorless to yellowish oily liquid | Colorless to yellowish oily liquid |

| Aniline Content | ≤ 0.2% | ≤ 0.1% |
| N-N Dimethylaniline | ≤ 0.7% | ≤ 0.5% |
| Low Boiling Content | ≤ 0.06% | ≤ 0.03% |
| High Boiling Content | ≤ 0.2% | ≤ 0.1% |
| Purity (N-Methylaniline) | ≥ 99% | ≥ 99.5% |
Industrial Applications
The primary application of N-Methylaniline lies in the synthesis of agrochemicals, where it acts as a precursor for herbicides and insecticides. Beyond agriculture, it is employed in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, and various organic compounds. The high purity grades are particularly suitable for sensitive synthesis routes where side reactions must be minimized. Our product supports the production of complex pharmaceutical APIs and advanced organic synthesis projects, provided all usage complies with local regulations and safety guidelines. We do not support any illicit or non-compliant applications.
Packing and Storage
To maintain product integrity, N-Methylaniline is packaged in 200 kg drums or according to specific customer requirements. Storage should be in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Containers must be kept tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. We provide comprehensive documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), with every shipment to facilitate safe handling and regulatory compliance across global supply chains.
