3-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde

Description:

3-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 53055-05-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring both a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a nitro group (-NO₂) attached to a benzaldehyde moiety. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is known for its distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its electrophilic reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including the preparation of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the compound's electronic properties and reactivity, often acting as a directing group in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
