CAS 1975-52-6: 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzoic acid

Description: 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a nitro group on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, a methyl group (-CH3) at the second position, and a nitro group (-NO2) at the fifth position. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing characteristics, influencing the reactivity and stability of the compound. 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzoic acid is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous.
