Aniline

Aniline is an organic compound with the formula C6H5NH2. Consisting of a phenyl group
attached to an amino group, aniline is the simplest aromatic amine. It is an industrially
significant commodity chemical, as well as a versatile starting material for fine chemical
synthesis. Its main use is in the manufacture of precursors to polyurethane, dyes, and other
industrial chemicals. Like most volatile amines, it has the odor of rotten fish. It ignites readily,
burning with a smoky flame characteristic of aromatic compounds.[6] It is toxic to humans.

Infobox references

Relative to benzene, it is electron-rich. It thus participates more rapidly in electrophilic aromatic


substitution reactions. Likewise, it is also prone to oxidation: while freshly purified aniline is an
almost colorless oil, exposure to air results in gradual darkening to yellow or red, due to the
formation of strongly colored, oxidized impurities. Aniline can be diazotized to give a diazonium
salt, which can then undergo various nucleophilic substitution reactions.

“Aniline” is ultimately from Portuguese anil which means "the indigo shrub", with suffix -ine
indicating "derived substance".[7]

Like other amines, aniline is both a base (pKaH = 4.6) and a nucleophile, although less so than
structurally similar aliphatic amines.

Because an early source of the benzene from which they are derived was coal tar, aniline dyes
are also called coal tar dyes.
