2-Hydroxy-6-nitrobenzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-6-nitrobenzoic acid, also known as salicylic acid 6-nitro derivative, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring both hydroxyl and nitro functional groups. It is a derivative of benzoic acid, where a hydroxyl group (-OH) is positioned at the ortho position (2) and a nitro group (-NO2) at the meta position (6) relative to the carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in acid-base reactions due to the carboxylic acid group and potential electrophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the nitro group. 2-Hydroxy-6-nitrobenzoic acid is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential biological activity and applications in synthesis. Safety data should be consulted, as nitro compounds can pose health risks.
