Description:4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 1568-70-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitrophenols. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a phenolic ring, specifically at the 4 and 2 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The presence of both the methoxy and nitro groups contributes to its chemical reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and various chemical reactions. 4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenol can exhibit acidic properties due to the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the phenolic ring, and it may participate in electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it has applications in the field of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitrophenols can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards.
