5-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid

Description:

5-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 consists of a benzoic acid core, with a methyl group located at the 5-position and a nitro group at the 2-position relative to the carboxylic acid 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. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its acidic properties and can influence its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 5-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic attacks, due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous.
