methyl 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoate

Description:
Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoate, also known as methyl salicylate 4-nitro derivative, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of both hydroxyl and nitro substituents on the aromatic ring. It typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The compound exhibits a distinct aromatic odor and is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitro group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical modifications. Additionally, the hydroxyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety data indicates that, like many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
