3-Ethoxyaniline (m-Ethoxyaniline) is an important aromatic amine intermediate widely used in dye synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and agrochemical production. This compound has a boiling point of 245-247°C (lit.) and density of 1.04 g/cm³ at 25°C. It exhibits limited water solubility but is miscible with most organic solvents. The material should be stored in tightly sealed containers under inert atmosphere due to its sensitivity to air oxidation. Safety precautions are essential as it is toxic via skin contact/inhalation (GHS Category 3) and may cause methemoglobinemia. Its ethoxy group at meta-position provides unique reactivity for constructing heterocyclic compounds and specialty chemicals.
