3-Methyl-5-nitrobenzaldehyde

Description:
3-Methyl-5-nitrobenzaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzaldehyde functional group with a methyl and a nitro substituent. The presence of the nitro group at the 5-position and the methyl group at the 3-position on the benzene ring influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is known for its distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The nitro group contributes to its electrophilic reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3-Methyl-5-nitrobenzaldehyde can undergo various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and reductions, which are valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
