CAS 57356-40-8

2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-nitrophenol

Description:

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 57356-40-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both hydroxymethyl and nitro functional groups attached to a phenolic ring. This compound typically appears as a solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxymethyl group, which enhances its hydrophilicity. The nitro group, being an electron-withdrawing substituent, can influence the compound's reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Its structure suggests that it may exhibit both acidic and basic properties, depending on the pH of the environment. Additionally, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-nitrophenol may have applications in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted, as nitro compounds can be hazardous, and appropriate handling procedures should be followed to mitigate any risks associated with exposure or reactivity.
