:Benzoic acid, 2-methyl-4-nitro-, ethyl ester
Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-methyl-4-nitro-, ethyl ester, commonly referred to as ethyl 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. It features a nitro group and a methyl group on the aromatic ring, which influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Ethyl 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. Its nitro group can participate in electrophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
