Description

3-Diethylamino-1-Nitrobenzene is an aromatic amine derivative featuring a nitro group para to a tertiary amino functionality, widely employed as a high-value intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis. Its electron-rich aromatic system and balanced reactivity profile make it particularly valuable for synthesizing dyes, optical brighteners, and functionalized heterocycles with precise photophysical properties. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the fine chemicals, agrochemical R&D, and advanced materials sectors requiring reproducible, high-purity building blocks. The 3-Diethylamino-1-Nitrobenzene CAS NO 2216-16-2 is consistently supplied to global industrial clients seeking strict batch-to-batch consistency and full traceability.

Application

• Synthesis of azo and triarylmethane dyes for textile and inkjet applications
• Key intermediate in the production of fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) for detergents and paper coatings
• Building block for photoactive compounds in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) material research
• Reagent in the preparation of pH-sensitive chromogenic sensors and analytical probes
• Substrate for catalytic C–N coupling reactions (e.g., Buchwald–Hartwig amination) in pharmaceutical process development
• Component in the synthesis of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for laser frequency conversion
