methyl 2,6-dinitrobenzoate

Description:
Methyl 2,6-dinitrobenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of two nitro groups on the benzene ring. It is derived from benzoic acid, where the hydrogen of the carboxylic acid is replaced by a methyl group, and the benzene ring is substituted at the 2 and 6 positions with nitro groups. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. Methyl 2,6-dinitrobenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Its nitro groups contribute to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations. Additionally, due to the presence of nitro groups, it may exhibit explosive properties under certain conditions, necessitating careful handling and storage. As with many nitro compounds, it is important to consider its environmental and health impacts during use and disposal.
