A compound formed by the acetylation of toluidine (a methylated aniline compound).
From 'aceto-' (acetyl) + 'toluid' (from 'toluidine', itself from 'toluene'). This term names the product when acetyl groups chemically attach to toluidine molecules, a common reaction in industrial chemistry.
Toluidine itself comes from balsam of Tolu, a resin from Colombian trees—so acetotoluid represents a beautiful chain from rain forest chemistry to modern synthetic compounds.
