2-Nitrothiophene

Description:

2-Nitrothiophene is an organic compound characterized by a five-membered aromatic ring containing both sulfur and a nitro group. Its molecular structure features a thiophene ring, which consists of four carbon atoms and one sulfur atom, with a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the second carbon of the ring. This compound is typically a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and is known for its distinct aromatic properties. 2-Nitrothiophene is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. The presence of the nitro group enhances its reactivity, making it a valuable building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, 2-nitrothiophene exhibits interesting electronic properties due to the conjugation between the nitro group and the thiophene ring, which can influence its behavior in chemical reactions and interactions with other substances. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
