4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde

Description:

4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 20357-22-6, is an organic compound belonging to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group at the para position and a nitro group at the meta position relative to the aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of both the nitro and aldehyde functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde can undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and its nitro group can participate in reduction reactions, further expanding its utility in organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
