About

A nitro-substituted N-methylaniline with a dihydroxypropyl ether side chain, used in hair dyes; carries an acute oral toxicity warning (H302) but has a higher permitted concentration limit.

This nitro aromatic compound combines an N-methylamino group with a dihydroxypropyloxy substituent and is used as an oxidative hair dye intermediate. It carries an acute oral toxicity classification (H302) but is not currently listed in EU Annex II restrictions. The dihydroxypropyl ether side chain increases water solubility compared to simpler nitroanilines. The PubChem CID 15847293 reflects its distinct structural formulation as a hair dye precursor with a maximum permitted concentration of 1.0%.

Known concerns

  • Acute oral toxicity hazard (H302)
  • Nitro aromatic structure with potential metabolic reduction
  • N-methylamino substituent with sensitisation potential
