2-Chloro-5-methoxyaniline

2-Chloro-5-methoxyaniline (CAS 2401-24-3, EC 219-277-6) is an aromatic amine supplied under common trade names including 2-Chloro-m-anisidine, 6-Chloro-m-anisidine, and 3-Amino-4-chloroanisole. With molecular formula C7H8ClNO, it belongs to the chlorinated anisidine family and carries HS code 2922290090 for customs classification.

In pharmaceutical synthesis, 2-Chloro-5-methoxyaniline serves as a key building block where its free amine group undergoes condensation and coupling reactions to construct heterocyclic drug intermediates. It also functions as a polymerization initiator, where the amine group generates reactive species that control chain initiation in specialty polymer systems.

This material is available for procurement under REACH compliance and is subject to standard EU chemical regulations. It is supplied in solid form ranging from powder to lump, with liquid grades also available depending on batch conditions. Packaging formats are confirmed at the time of order based on volume requirements.
