4-tert-Butylaniline

4-tert-Butylaniline (CAS 769-92-6), also known as p-tert-Butylaniline or 4-(tert-Butyl)aniline, is a high-purity tert-butyl-substituted aniline intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, dye manufacturing, and fine chemical production. This compound features a tert-butyl group at the para-position 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, dye intermediate synthesis, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing para-tert-butyl aromatic amine scaffolds, agrochemical intermediates, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable benzene derivative intermediate, it serves as an important precursor for constructing sterically-hindered aromatic amine systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
