    Product Overview

    What is Methyl Ethyl Aniline?

    Methyl Ethyl Aniline, chemically known as 2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline (also written 2-Ethyl-6-Methylaniline or 6-Ethyl-o-toluidine, often shortened to MEA in the agrochemical trade), is an aromatic amine built on an aniline ring that carries a methyl group and an ethyl group on either side of the amino group. It is a clear, colourless to pale reddish liquid at room temperature and one of the most important intermediates in modern crop protection chemistry.

    Globally, the largest use of Methyl Ethyl Aniline is in the synthesis of chloroacetanilide herbicides such as Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor and Acetochlor, which are among the most widely used pre-emergence herbicides for maize, soybean, cotton, sugarcane and vegetables. It is also used in dyestuff intermediates, polyurethane and epoxy curing agent intermediates, pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty fine chemicals.

    As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Methyl Ethyl Aniline from approved manufacturers with consistent GC purity, low moisture and controlled colour, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

    FAQ

    Methyl Ethyl Aniline questions answered

    Common questions from UAE and GCC buyers about 2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline supply, specifications and delivery.

    Methyl Ethyl Aniline (2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline) is mainly used as the key intermediate for chloroacetanilide herbicides such as Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor and Acetochlor. It is also used in dye and pigment intermediates, polyurethane and epoxy curing agent intermediates, pharmaceutical synthesis and fine chemicals.

    The CAS number of 2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline (2-Ethyl-6-methylaniline) is 24549-06-2. Its molecular formula is C₉H₁₃N and its molecular weight is 135.21 g/mol.

    Chelora Chemicals UAE is a B2B chemical supplier and distributor of Methyl Ethyl Aniline, serving Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain with full COA, SDS and TDS documentation and export to the wider GCC.

    Yes. We deliver to all seven Emirates, including Jebel Ali and JAFZA in Dubai, KEZAD, Musaffah and Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, and SAIF Zone and Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah, as well as RAKEZ, Ajman Free Zone and Fujairah.

    Both are sometimes abbreviated MEA. In the agrochemical industry MEA usually means 2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline (CAS 24549-06-2), while in gas treating and detergents MEA means Monoethanolamine (CAS 141-43-5). We supply both, so please mention the CAS number in your enquiry to avoid any confusion.

    Our standard technical grade is ≥ 98.0% purity by GC. Higher-purity lots (≥ 99.0%) and specific limits on moisture, isomers and colour can be sourced on request to suit herbicide synthesis or other critical processes.

    Pricing depends on purity, quantity, packing, Incoterm and current market conditions for aniline derivatives. Share your requirement through our contact page and our team aims to send a clear quotation within one business day.

    Methyl Ethyl Aniline is typically supplied in 200 kg steel drums, 1,000 L IBCs and ISO tanks. Packaging is nitrogen-blanketed and sealed to protect the product from air and light, which can cause darkening.

    The minimum order depends on packing and availability. We handle everything from a few drums for trials or lab qualification up to full container loads and ISO tanks for continuous production.

    Each shipment can include a Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice and packing list, plus dangerous-goods documentation where applicable.

    Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated area, ideally under nitrogen, away from direct sunlight, strong oxidisers and acids. In UAE conditions, shaded or temperature-controlled storage helps preserve colour and purity.

    Yes. It carries the GHS signal word "Warning" and is harmful if swallowed and irritating to skin and eyes. Use suitable gloves, goggles and ventilation, and always follow the SDS supplied with the product.

    Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.

    Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.

    In 2-Methyl-6-Ethylaniline (CAS 24549-06-2) the methyl and ethyl groups sit on the benzene ring next to the amino group. In N-Ethyl-N-Methylaniline (CAS 613-97-8) both groups are attached to the nitrogen atom. They are different chemicals with different uses, so please confirm the CAS number when you enquire.
