1-Ethyl-2-nitrobenzene

Description:
1-Ethyl-2-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 612-22-6, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a nitro group (-NO2) and an ethyl group (-C2H5) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the nitro group imparts significant reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. 1-Ethyl-2-nitrobenzene exhibits moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Its physical properties include a relatively high boiling point compared to non-substituted benzene derivatives, reflecting the influence of the nitro and ethyl substituents on the molecular structure. As with many nitro compounds, it may also undergo reduction reactions, leading to various derivatives with different functional groups.
