2-Toluidine, also known as 2-methylbenzenamine, is an aromatic amine compound where a methyl group (-CH₃) is attached to the 2-position of the benzene ring, and an amine group (-NH₂) is attached at the 1-position. The methyl group makes it an electron-donating substituent, enhancing the nucleophilicity of the amine group. 2-Toluidine is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. It also finds applications in materials science and chemical research due to its reactive functional groups.
