2,4-Xylidine is an organic compound with the formula C6H3(CH3)2NH2. It is one of several isomeric xylidines. It is a colorless viscous liquid. Commercially significant derivatives include the veterinary drug cymiazole and the colorant Pigment Yellow 81.[1]
Genotoxic and teratogenic, 2,4xylidine is an industrial pollutant.[2] In addition, it is a degradant of the pesticide amitraz at very acidic pH values (<3).[relevance?][3]
It is prepared by nitration of m-xylene followed by hydrogenation.
