[Functional application] mainly used as organic synthesis intermediates such as dyes, as well as analytical reagents, vulcanization accelerators, and saccharin manufacturing.
1) Used for preparing azo dyes and triphenylmethane dyes; For example, it is used to prepare sulfurized blue, sulfurized light yellow GC, sulfurized yellow brown 5g, color phenol as-d, red base RL, large red base g, jujube red base GBC, acid peach 3b, reduced peach R, basic magenta and basic peach T;
2) In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to prepare o-chloropenicillin, amiodarone, bissouping, ruodin, etc;
3) Pesticide industry is used to synthesize Chlordimeform. It is also used for the synthesis of curing accelerators DT, BG, PR, etc.
2-Methylaniline is an important intermediate for the production of dyes and pigments. It can be used to prepare direct red 62, red group RL, red group G, jujube red group GBC, basic fuchsin, chromophenol as-d, acid red 35, 158, 265, Solvent Red 124, diazo component and coupling component of azo dyes, etc. it can also be used as raw materials for the production of pesticides to synthesize pesticide fungicides Tricyclazole, insecticide fenofibrate Chlordimeform and herbicide acetochlor can also be used as raw materials of rubber vulcanization accelerator, saccharin and corrosion inhibitor. In organic synthesis, o-toluidine is mainly used to synthesize heterocyclic compounds indole and its derivatives.
