Application

2,6-Dimethylaniline can react with:
  • 1-Naphthaldehyde to form an intermediate, bis(4-amino-3,5-dimethylphenyl)naphthylmethane (BADN) to further form bis(4-maleimido-3,5-dimethylphenyl)naphthylmethane (BMDN) by reacting with maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate.
  • n-Butyllithium to form lithium 2,6-dimethylanilide, which can be utilized to form various RhII anilide complexes.

A novel aromatic diamine containing pyridyl side group, 4-pyridine-4,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-5-aminophenyl)methane (PyDPM), was successfully synthesized via electrophilic substitution reaction. The polyimides (PIs) containing pyridine were obtained via the microwave-assisted one-step polycondensation of the PyDPM with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenylether

This research investigated the intrinsic second-order rate constant between 2,6-dimethyl-aniline (2,6-DMA) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) using Fenton's reactions under both batch and continuous operations. The competitive kinetics technique with aniline as a reference compound was employed. In the batch study
