N-Methyl aniline is an aniline derivative. It is an organic compound that acts as a solvent essential in the organic synthesis and manufacturing of plastic and rubber products. Moreover, it is often used as a solvent for oils, resins, and waxes. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of several chemicals, such as dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and certain agrochemicals, on a large scale. Its applications extend to various other sectors, including plastic and polymers.

The market for N-methyl aniline is majorly driven by its major applications as an intermediate in the manufacture of various chemicals, including agrochemicals, dyes (generally, azo dyes), and pharmaceuticals, which notably increases its demand in the agrochemical, textile, and pharmaceutical industries.

It is also utilized as a reagent in the synthesis of complex organic compounds and in the manufacture of a wide variety of rubber and plastic products, which further accentuates its demand in the chemical manufacturing, rubber, and plastic industries. Moreover, N-Methyl Aniline is often used as a solvent for oils, resins, and waxes, which significantly enhances its demand in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Additionally, several factors influence industrial N-Methyl Aniline procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of N-Methyl Aniline’s feedstock (aniline, methanol), N-Methyl Aniline market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for N-Methyl Aniline Production

According to the N-Methyl Aniline manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for N-Methyl Aniline production include Aniline-Methanol.

Manufacturing Process of N-Methyl Aniline

The extensive N-Methyl Aniline production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production by Catalytic Reaction Between Aniline and Methanol in Copper or Alumina: The process initiates with the catalytic reaction between methanol and aniline in the presence of copper or alumina, which generates N-Methyl Aniline as the final product.

N-Methyl aniline is a compound that can range from colorless to brown in appearance and is viscous in nature. It is composed of seven carbon, nine hydrogen, and one nitrogen atom, with the chemical formula CHN or more specifically CHNH(CH). This chemical liquid has a molecular weight of 107.15 g/mol.

It is a toxic substance with a faint, characteristic odor, somewhat reminiscent of ammonia. N-methyl aniline has a melting point of approximately -57 °C and a boiling point around 196 °C. Its flash point is measured at about 79.5 °C. This compound is insoluble in water but dissolves in various organic solvents, including ether, ethanol, and carbon tetrachloride. Its density is around 0.989 g/cm³ at 20 °C, and it has a vapor density of 3.69, indicating that its vapors are heavier than air.

Its vapor pressure is approximately 0.453 mm Hg at 25 °C. N-methyl aniline is photosensitive, tending to turn brown upon exposure to light. When heated at high temperatures, it decomposes, emitting highly toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. It belongs to the aromatic amine family.
