CAS 16255-50-8: 1,4-Bis(chloromethyl)-2-nitrobenzene

Description: 1,4-Bis(chloromethyl)-2-nitrobenzene is an organic compound characterized by its nitro and chloromethyl substituents on a benzene ring. It features a nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the 2-position and two chloromethyl groups (-CH2Cl) at the 1 and 4 positions of the benzene ring, making it a member of the nitro-substituted aromatic compounds. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a yellow to brown color. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the chloromethyl groups, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The nitro group contributes to the compound's electron-withdrawing properties, influencing its chemical behavior and reactivity. 1,4-Bis(chloromethyl)-2-nitrobenzene is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks, including toxicity and potential environmental hazards.
