5-Methyl-2-nitrophenol

Description:

5-Methyl-2-nitrophenol, with the CAS number 700-38-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitrophenols. It features a phenolic structure with a methyl group and a nitro group positioned on the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents. The presence of both the methyl and nitro groups influences its chemical reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and various chemical applications. 5-Methyl-2-nitrophenol exhibits acidic properties due to the hydroxyl group, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. Additionally, it can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including potential toxicity and environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
