CAS 608-50-4

1,3,5-Trimethyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Description:

1,3,5-Trimethyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene, with the CAS number 608-50-4, is an organic compound belonging to the class of dinitrobenzenes. It features a benzene ring substituted with three methyl groups at the 1, 3, and 5 positions and two nitro groups at the 2 and 4 positions. This compound is typically a yellow crystalline solid, known for its relatively high stability and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits strong electron-withdrawing properties due to the presence of the nitro groups, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. 1,3,5-Trimethyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of dyes and explosives. However, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
