4-methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid

Description:

4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a methyl group and a nitro group on the benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzoic acid core, with the nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the 2-position and the methyl group (-CH3) at the 4-position relative to the carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing characteristics, influencing its reactivity and stability. 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid is utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
