Anyone identify this chem?


May seem stupid but I'm not familiar with it.

From a reference to a 50's Journal of American Chemical Society article.. wanted to read the original article, but it's expensive for just 48 hours access only to the article.

So I drew a pic of the beneze ring chem I want to identify in pixlr.

It is named N-Ethyl-m-toluidine, and there are structure search engines all over the net, some good ones and some not so good ones..

Anyways, Sigma Aldrich has a "substructure search" engine for simple compounds where you draw your structure and get a list over similar or exact hits.

ChemSpider has structure search, also.

It's useful for looking at trends between similar derivatives of a molecule, since it brings up known physical data as part of the search.

You can get a great program called ChemSketch for free which can name chemicals like this for you.

BTW, if you ask in the References section and post a link to the paper you want, someone may be able to get it for you for free:)
