3,4-dichloro-2-nitroaniline

Description:

3,4-Dichloro-2-nitroaniline is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a nitro group attached to an aniline structure. It features a benzene ring with an amino group (-NH2) and is classified as a substituted aniline. The chlorine atoms are located at the 3 and 4 positions relative to the amino group, while the nitro group is positioned at the 2 position. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a yellow to brown color. It is known for its applications in dye manufacturing, as well as in the synthesis of various organic compounds. The presence of both electron-withdrawing groups (the nitro and chloro substituents) influences its reactivity and solubility in different solvents. Additionally, 3,4-dichloro-2-nitroaniline may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal in accordance with safety regulations. Its chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the substance.
