CAS 4102-84-5: 2-Chloro-6-methyl-4-nitrophenol

Description: 2-Chloro-6-methyl-4-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 4102-84-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated phenols. It features a phenolic structure with a chlorine atom, a methyl group, and a nitro group attached to the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a solid, often characterized by its yellow to brown color. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many chlorinated phenols. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its potential as a reactive intermediate in various chemical syntheses. 2-Chloro-6-methyl-4-nitrophenol may exhibit antimicrobial properties and is sometimes used in the production of dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. However, like many chlorinated compounds, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the electron-withdrawing effects of the nitro and chloro substituents, which can affect its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
