4’-Methylacetanilide（Cat No.:R013181）, also known as p-toluidide or N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamide, is an organic compound featuring an acetamide group attached to a para-methylated aniline ring. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The para-methyl group enhances the electron-donating properties of the aromatic ring, influencing reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. Its structure is related to acetanilide derivatives, known for antipyretic and analgesic properties, though 4’-methylacetanilide is mostly valued for its role in synthetic applications.
