Anilinebased
Aniline-based, often written as aniline-based, refers to chemical compounds that contain an aniline moiety or are derived from aniline, the simple aromatic amine with the formula C6H5NH2. The term encompasses a broad class of substances, including substituted anilines and polymers built from aniline units. Because the amino group directs and activates the benzene ring, many aniline-based molecules are prepared by functionalizing the ring at the ortho and para positions or by converting the amino group into other functionalities.
Aniline is a primary aromatic amine. The amino group is reactive and can be acylated, alkylated, or
Industrial production of aniline is primarily achieved by catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. The intermediate toluidines and
Aniline-based compounds vary in toxicity, and many derivatives pose health and environmental risks. Aniline itself can
