3-Aminophenyl isopropyl ether (m-Isopropoxyaniline) is an important aromatic amine derivative widely used as a key intermediate in agrochemical synthesis, particularly for fungicides like mepronil and flutolanil. This compound exhibits a boiling point of 229-230°C (lit.) with a density of 1.025 g/mL at 25°C and refractive index of 1.5500. The oily liquid is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. Storage should be in tightly sealed containers under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C, protected from light. Safety precautions include wearing chemical-resistant gloves and goggles due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). Its molecular structure containing both amino and ether functionalities makes it valuable for constructing heterocyclic compounds.
