2,4-Dimethyl-6-nitrophenol

Description:
2,4-Dimethyl-6-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 14452-34-7, is an organic compound belonging to the class of nitrophenols. It features a phenolic structure with two methyl groups located at the 2 and 4 positions and a nitro group at the 6 position of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically characterized by its yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The presence of the nitro group imparts acidic properties, making it a weak acid. 2,4-Dimethyl-6-nitrophenol is often used in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its chemical reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group, which can affect its behavior in electrophilic substitution reactions.
