Aniline

Aniline is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5NH2. It is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a distinct, sweet odor. Aniline is primarily used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Its key feature is the amine group (NH2), which makes it a building block for various chemical reactions. While useful, aniline is toxic and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, highlighting the need for careful handling. Its versatility in chemistry makes it significant in industries but emphasizes the importance of safety in its use.
