3,5-Di-tert-butylaniline

3,5-Di-tert-butylaniline (CAS 2380-36-1), also known as 3,5-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)aniline or 3,5-Di-tert-butylbenzenamine, is a high-purity sterically-hindered aromatic amine intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, polymer chemistry, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features two tert-butyl groups at the meta-positions of the aniline structure, making it a versatile building block for the development of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a key intermediate in electrophilic aromatic substitution, amide coupling, and functional group transformations, it exhibits excellent reactivity in diazotization, nucleophilic substitution, and cross-coupling pathways. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, antioxidant synthesis, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing sterically-hindered aromatic amine scaffolds, polymer stabilizers, agrochemical intermediates, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable benzene derivative intermediate, it serves as an important precursor for constructing bulky aromatic amine systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
