(2-nitrophenyl)(phenyl)methanol

Description:
(2-Nitrophenyl)(phenyl)methanol, with the CAS number 5176-12-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a nitrophenyl and a phenyl group attached to a central methanol moiety. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the phenyl rings. The nitro group (-NO2) on the 2-position of the phenyl ring contributes to its electron-withdrawing characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. The compound may exhibit moderate to high polarity due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Its chemical behavior can be affected by the presence of the nitro group, which can enhance electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, (2-nitrophenyl)(phenyl)methanol may have applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes or pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as compounds with nitro groups can pose specific hazards.
