ChEBI: A tertiary amine that is aniline in which the amino hydrogens are replaced by two methyl groups. | [Production Methods]
N,N-Dimethylaniline is made by heating aniline, methyl alcohol and sulfuric acid under pressure, followed by hydrolysis of the sulfate formed with sodium hydroxide to the free base (Windholz et al 1983). United States production in 1975 was estimated at 4,600 metric tons (HSDB 1989). | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Industrial uses]
N,N-Dimethylaniline is used as chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of vanillin, Michler's ketone, and dyes such as Acid Red 2, Basic Green 4 and Basic Violet 1 (Northcott 1978). It is also used as a solvent and an activator for polyesters and as an alkylating agent (Beard and Noe 1981). It is used as an acid scavenger or accepter in the manufacture of beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin (Nachtmann and Gstrein 1981). | [Potential Exposure]

A 2-year corn oil gavage bioassay conducted by NTP in
F344/N rats (0.3 or 30 mg/kg) and B6C3F1 mice (0, 15, or
30 mg/kg) for 103 weeks concluded that there was some
evidence of carcinogenic activity for male F344/N rats as
indicated by the increased incidences of sarcomas or osteosarcomas
in the spleen; there was no evidence of carcinogenic
activity in the female rats or male mice; there was
equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity for female mice
as indicated by an increased incidence of squamous cell
papillomas of the forestomach. Both rats and mice could
have tolerated doses higher than those used in these
studies. | [Environmental Fate]
Photolytic. A rate constant of 1.48 x 10-10 cm3/molecule?sec was reported for the reaction of
N,N-dimethylaniline and OH radicals in air at room temperature (Atkinson et al., 1987).
Chemical/Physical. Products identified from the gas-phase reaction of ozone with N,Ndimethylaniline
in synthetic air at 23 °C were: N-methylformanilide, formaldehyde, formic acid,
hydrogen peroxide, and a nitrated salt having the formula: [C6H6NH(CH3)2]+NO3
- (Atkinson et al.,
1987). Reacts with acids forming water-soluble salts. | [Metabolism]
Ν,Ν-Dimethylaniline undergoes N-demethylation, N-oxidation, and ring hydroxylation in animals. Urinary metabolites produced by dogs and rabbits injected with this compound included 4-aminophenol, 4-dimethylaminophenol, 2-aminophenol and N-methylaniline (Williams 1959; Kiese and Renner 1974). N-oxidation, N-demethylation and ring hydroxylation of Ν,Ν-dimethylaniline was demonstrated in vitro using liver microsomal preparations from pigs, rats, rabbits, chickens, and guinea pigs (Fish et al 1955; Zeigler and Pettit 1964, 1966; Abou-Donia and Menzel 1968). N-oxidation was also demonstrated using whole homogenate of human liver (Zeigler and Gold 1971; Rane 1974). Evidence has been obtained with rabbit liver microsomes for two pathways for Ν,Ν-dimethylaniline N-oxidation (Hlavica and Kehl 1977). One pathway involves cytochrome P-450 while the second makes use of flavin-containing monooxygenase. N,N-Dimethylaniline was also metabolized to formaldehyde in the nasal and respiratory mucosa of Fischer 344 rats (McNulty et al 1983). Alveolar type II cells from rabbit and rat lungs catalyzed the N-oxidation of this compound (Devereux and Fouts 1974; Ohmiya and Mehendale 1981). The microsomal preparation from rat seminal vesicles when fortified with arachidonic acid catalyzed the dealkylation of N,Ndimethylaniline (Sivarajah et al 1982). | [Shipping]
This compound requires a shipping label of“POISONOUS/TOXIC MATERIALS.” It falls in HazardClass 6.1 and Packing Group II. | [Purification Methods]
Primary and secondary amines (including aniline and monomethylaniline) can be removed by refluxing for 4-5hours with excess acetic anhydride, and then fractionally distilling. Crocker and Jones (J Chem Soc 1808 1959) used four volumes of acetic anhydride, then distilled off the greater part of it, and dissolved the residue in ice-cold dilute HCl. Non-basic materials were removed by ether extraction, then the dimethylaniline was liberated with ammonia, extracted with ether, dried, and distilled under reduced pressure. Metzler and Tobolsky (J Am Chem Soc 76 5178 1954) refluxed with only 10% (w/w) of acetic anhydride, then cooled and poured it into excess 20% HCl, which, after cooling, was extracted with diethyl ether. (The amine hydrochloride remains in the aqueous phase.) The HCl solution was cautiously made alkaline to phenolphthalein, and the amine layer was drawn off, dried over KOH and fractionally distilled under reduced pressure, under nitrogen. Suitable drying agents for dimethylaniline include NaOH, BaO, CaSO4, and CaH2. Other purification procedures include the formation of the picrate (m 163o from Me2CO or EtOH/H2O), prepared in *benzene solution and crystallised to constant melting point, then decomposed with warm 10% NaOH and extracted into ether: the extract was washed with water and distilled under reduced pressure. The oxalate salt has also been used for purification. The base has been fractionally crystallised by partial freezing and also from aqueous 80% EtOH then from absolute EtOH. It has been distilled from zinc dust, under nitrogen. [Beilstein 12 H 141, 12 I 151, 12 II 2, 12 III 245, 12 IV 243.] | [Incompatibilities]
