Chemical Information
FooDB Nameo-Toluidine
DescriptionO-toluidine, also known as 2-aminotoluene or 1-amino-2-methylbenzene, is a member of the class of compounds known as aminotoluenes. Aminotoluenes are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene that carries a single methyl group and one amino group. O-toluidine is soluble (in water) and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). O-toluidine can be found in tea, which makes O-toluidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. O-toluidine is formally rated as a carcinogenic (IARC 1) potentially toxic compound. The chemical properties of the toluidines are quite similar to those of aniline, and toluidines have properties in common with other aromatic amines. Due to the amino group bonded to the aromatic ring, the toluidines are weakly basic. The toluidines are poorly soluble in pure water but dissolve well in acidic water due to formation of ammonium salts, as usual for organic amines. ortho- and meta-toluidines are viscous liquids, but para-toluidine is a flaky solid. This difference is related to the fact that the p-toluidine molecules are more symmetrical. p-Toluidine can be obtained from reduction of p-nitrotoluene. p-Toluidine reacts with formaldehyde to form Tröger's base .
