'''o-Anisidine (2-anisidine') is an organic compound with the formula CH3OC6H4NH2. A colorless liquid, commercial samples can appear yellow owing to air oxidation. It is one of three isomers of the methoxy-containing aniline derivative. It is a building block for other more complex compounds.
==Production and use== It is prepared via methanolysis of 2-chloronitrobenzene: NaOCH3 + ClC6H4NO2 → CH3OC6H4NO2 + NaCl The resulting o-nitroanisole is reduced to o-anisidine.
