2-Aminofluorene (2-AF) is a synthetic arylamine. It is a white to tan solid with a melting point of 125-132 °C. 2-AF has only been tested in controlled laboratory settings thus far. There is no indication that it will be tested in industrialized settings. There is evidence that 2-aminofluorene is a carcinogen and an intercalating agent that is extremely dangerous to genomic DNA that potentially can lead to mutation if not death. Furthermore, it has been suggested that 2-aminofluorene can undergo acetylation reactions that causes these reactive species to undergo such reactions in cells. Several experiments have been conducted that have suggested 2-aminofluorene be treated with care and with an overall awareness of the toxicity of this compound.
