CAS 2213-79-8: methyl 2-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate

Description: Methyl 2-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate, with the CAS number 2213-79-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of multiple functional groups. It features a benzoate moiety with a methyl ester group, which contributes to its solubility in organic solvents. The compound contains two nitro groups (-NO2) and a chlorine atom (-Cl) attached to the benzene ring, which significantly influence its reactivity and properties. The nitro groups are electron-withdrawing, making the compound more electrophilic and potentially reactive in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Methyl 2-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate is typically a yellow crystalline solid and may exhibit moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling. Its applications can include use in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other chemical intermediates or as a reagent in various chemical reactions. As with many nitro compounds, it may also be subject to regulations regarding its use and disposal due to environmental and health considerations.
