CAS 13506-76-8: 2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid

Description: 2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a nitro group on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, a methyl group (-CH3) at the second position, and a nitro group (-NO2) at the sixth position. This compound is typically a yellow crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. It is known for its acidic properties, which are typical of carboxylic acids, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing characteristics, influencing its reactivity and stability. 2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid is utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
