p-Phenetidine (4-ethoxyaniline) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C₈H₁₁NO. It is one of the three isomers of phenetidine. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs, dyes, and the sweetener dulcin.^[1]

p-Phenetidine is a metabolite of the pharmaceutical drugs bucetin and phenacetin^[3] and of the preservative ethoxyquin.^[4] It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of bucetin, phenacetin, ethoxyquin, and phenacaine.

p-Phenetidine has high renal toxicity^[3] and it is believed to be responsible for the adverse effects that led to the withdrawal of phenacetin and bucetin from pharmaceutical use. p-Phenetidine is also a possible mutagen.^[4]
