2-chloro-4-nitrobenzaldehyde

Description:
2-Chloro-4-nitrobenzaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzaldehyde functional group with both a chlorine and a nitro substituent on the benzene ring. The chlorine atom is located at the 2-position, while the nitro group is at the 4-position, making it a derivative of chloronitrobenzaldehyde. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. It exhibits a distinct aromatic odor and is sensitive to light and moisture. 2-Chloro-4-nitrobenzaldehyde is utilized in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing effects of the nitro and chloro groups, which can facilitate electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
