4-(Chloromethyl)-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene

Description:

4-(Chloromethyl)-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 6378-19-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a nitro group and a chloromethyl substituent. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. The presence of the nitro group (-NO2) typically enhances the electrophilic character of the aromatic ring, making it more susceptible to further chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. The chloromethyl group (-CH2Cl) serves as a versatile functional group, allowing for various transformations in synthetic organic chemistry. This compound is often utilized in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its chlorinated and nitro functionalities.
