2-Methyl-5-nitrophenol

Description:

2-Methyl-5-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 5428-54-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitrophenols. It features a phenolic structure with a methyl group and a nitro group positioned on the aromatic ring. The presence of these functional groups imparts distinct chemical properties, including increased acidity compared to unsubstituted phenols due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group. This compound is typically a yellow crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. It is often used in chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. 2-Methyl-5-nitrophenol can undergo various chemical reactions, including nitration, reduction, and substitution, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as nitrophenols can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this compound in laboratory settings.
