1,2-Dichloro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzene

Description:
1,2-Dichloro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 51719-46-1, is an organic compound belonging to the class of chlorinated nitrobenzenes. It features a benzene ring substituted with two chlorine atoms, a methyl group, and a nitro group, which contribute to its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is characterized by its relatively high melting and boiling points compared to non-substituted benzene derivatives. It is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the nitro group imparts significant electron-withdrawing characteristics, influencing its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, the chlorinated structure may enhance its stability and resistance to degradation. Due to its chemical properties, 1,2-Dichloro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzene may be utilized in various industrial applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. However, handling this substance requires caution due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with chlorinated organic compounds.
