:2,6-Dimethyl-3-nitrophenol
Description:
2,6-Dimethyl-3-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 6994-63-4, is an organic compound belonging to the class of nitrophenols. It features a phenolic structure with two methyl groups located at the 2 and 6 positions and a nitro group at the 3 position of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may appear as a yellow to orange crystalline substance. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is characteristic of many nitrophenols. The presence of both methyl and nitro groups influences its chemical reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution. Additionally, 2,6-Dimethyl-3-nitrophenol can exhibit acidic properties due to the hydroxyl group, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. It is important to handle this compound with care, as nitrophenols can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards.
