CAS 23876-13-3: 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzenemethanol

Description: 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 23876-13-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methyl group and a nitro group attached to a benzene ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH). This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to brownish color and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may vary depending on the specific conditions. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its potential reactivity, making it a candidate for various chemical transformations. It may also exhibit moderate to high toxicity, necessitating careful handling and storage. The compound can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group, influencing its reactivity and the positions of further substitutions on the aromatic ring. Additionally, 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzenemethanol may have applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds.
