2,6-Diaminotoluene Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties off-white crystals
Uses Aromatic amines likely to have high carcinogenic potency. QSARs of aromatic amines.
Definition ChEBI: A diamine that is toluene in which both of the hydrogens ortho- to the methyl group are replaced by amino groups.
Production Methods 2,6-Toluenediamine is usually produced as a by-product with 2,4-TDA in mixtures containing 20% 2,6-isomer and 80% 2,4-isomer. It is used primarily in the manufacture of toluene diisocyanate, the predominant isocyanate in the flexible polyurethane foams and elastomers industry.
