3-methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde

Description:

3-Methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 5858-27-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitro-substituted aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring with a methyl group and a nitro group positioned at the 3 and 2 positions, respectively, relative to the aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and has a 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 both the nitro and aldehyde functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, 3-methyl-2-nitrobenzaldehyde can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions, and its nitro group can be reduced to amines or further functionalized. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
