o-Toluidine in electrochemistry – an overview

Abstract The substituted aromatic amine o -toluidine (2-methylaniline, 1-amino-2-methylbenzene) is frequently encountered in electrochemical research as a soluble corrosion inhibitor dissolved aqueous media used e.g., cooling systems, homomonomer for formation of intrinsically conducting poly- and comonomer respective copolymers their composites. obtained polymers are suggested protection coatings, active materials devices energy storage, but more frequently, they examined components sensors. significant pronounced carcinogenicity has hardly been addressed; presumably, most researchers not even aware this property. After brief summary the health risks effects, following overview presents typical examples said studies applications. If possible, substitutes with lower proposed, at least further enabling such replacement suggested.
