Definition
An organic aromatic compound belonging to the amine family, derived from anisole and existing as three positional isomers (ortho, meta, and para); methoxyaniline. Industrially, it is used as an essential intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. In food biochemistry, p-anisidine is a primary reagent used to measure the secondary oxidation value of fats and oils by quantifying aldehyde formations.
