Description:2-Chloro-1-methyl-3-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 3970-40-9, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom, a methyl group, and a nitro group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The chlorine substituent introduces electrophilic characteristics, making it reactive in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitution. The nitro group is a strong electron-withdrawing group, which influences the compound's reactivity and stability. 2-Chloro-1-methyl-3-nitrobenzene is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
