Product Summary
N-Ethyl-N-cyanoethyl-m-toluidine has molecular formula C12H16N2, molecular weight 188.27 and CAS number 148-69-6. It is a light yellow to brown transparent liquid at room temperature with an assay (GC) of ≥98.0%, a boiling point of 312.8-362.8°C, a refractive index of 1.5470 and a pKa of 4.92-5.92 (see specifications). Compared with N-ethyl-N-cyanoethylaniline (CAS 148-87-8, molecular formula C11H14N2), this product carries one additional methyl group at the 3-position of the ring: the electron-donating effect of the methyl group acts on the conjugated system and shifts the dye shade toward red (finished-dye performance is subject to testing of the finished dye). The product is used mainly as a coupling component for orange and red disperse dyes for polyester fiber dyeing.
