Product Description

p-Phenetidine (C₈H₁₁NO), also known as 4-ethoxyaniline, is a colourless to light yellow clear liquid that is sensitive to air and light and turns red to brown on exposure. Supplied by LANXESS, this aromatic amine is a valued chemical intermediate for a broad range of synthesis routes.

This ethoxy-substituted aniline is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceutical actives and other fine chemicals. Its defined reactivity makes it a reliable building block in multistage syntheses where consistent quality is essential. Because of its sensitivity to air and light, it benefits from appropriate handling and storage to preserve product quality.

Key Features:

  • Clear, colourless to light yellow liquid (darkens on air/light exposure)
  • Versatile aromatic intermediate based on 4-ethoxyaniline
  • Suitable for the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals
  • Defined, reproducible reactivity for multistage synthesis
  • Reliable quality with global supply support
