Xylidine

Xylidine can refer to any of the six isomers of xylene amine, or any mixture of them. All isomers are toxic.

The chemical formula of xylidines is C₈H₁₁N, or (CH₃)₂C₆H₃NH₂. They are stable and combustible and react with strong oxidizing agents. They may be light sensitive. The CAS number for the isomer mixture is 1300-73-8. They are typically yellow liquids (except 3,4-xylidine which is solid) that darken when exposed to air and light. They are miscible with ethanol and diethyl ether and slightly soluble in water.
