2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid

Description:

2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a nitro group attached to a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C8H9NO4, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, and four oxygen atoms. The compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The nitro group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The presence of both the methyl and nitro substituents influences its acidity and overall chemical behavior, often leading to unique reactivity patterns in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
