Description

2,4,6-Trimethylaniline is useful for the preparation of Grubbs' catalyst. It is used as a precursor to dyes. It undergoes condensation reaction with glyoxal to prepare glyoxal-bis(mesitylimine). It is also involved in the preparation of 1,3-diketimines ligands by condensation with 1,3-diketones. Further, it is used for the production of Acid Blue 129 dye, which is useful in histochemistry studies. In addition to this, it serves as a building block to various bulky ligands.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
