Talk:Toluidine

Untitled
I'm thinking of moving this article to Toluidine and expanding to cover all three toluidines. I started writing something up under o-toluidine. There are other Wikipedia articles which cover three aromatic isomers like this. The table will be expanded to include two extra columns for the other two isomers as well. When such a table can be made ready, I will then move the article and combine the toluidines. H Padleckas 22:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)


 * sounds like a good plan, and thanks for the new pics! V8rik 14:58, 18 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I've made the move to Toluidines because the Wikipedia software would not allow me to move it to Toluidine, as I originally wanted to. Then I expanded the article to cover toluidines in general at the beginning and expanded the Table of Properties so there is room for the other two isomers.  The table is still unfinished.  The previous material on p-toluidine was placed below in a separate "p-toluidine" section.  H Padleckas 06:37, 20 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Good work merging the articles. It should still be moved to Toluidine however.  I will alert an administrator.  (The place to do this is Requested moves)  --Chinasaur 20:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 03:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Merge suggestion
I suggest that three other articles covering isomers of toluidine, including the two recently created and misspelled ones, be merged into this one. Unless anyone objects, I'll do it in a week or so. Edgar181 12:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Mechanism for CA acceleration?
How does toludine accelerate cyanoacrylate polymerization? —Ben FrantzDale 00:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

aromatic vs aryl
I removed the parenthetical remark about aromatic amines being more correctly called aryl. In my experience, both terms are in widespread use and neither is to be deprecated. See for example the Wikipedia page on AromaticityCharlesHBennett (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomenclature
According to the current version of Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book), the name “toluidine”, for which o-, m-, and p- have been used to distinguish isomers, is no longer recommended.

The preferred IUPAC names (PINs) are “2-methylaniline”, “3-methylaniline”, and “4-methylaniline”.

The systematic names “2-methylbenzenamine”, “3-methylbenzenamine”, and “4-methylbenzenamine” may be used in general nomenclature.

The strange names “2-amino-1-methylbenzene”, “3-amino-1-methylbenzene”, and “4-amino-1-methylbenzene”, which are currently given as “chemical name” in the table of the article, are not in accordance with current or previous IUPAC nomenclature for several reasons.
