4-Ethenyl-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene

Description:

4-Ethenyl-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 7403-69-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a nitro group and a methoxy group attached to a benzene ring. The presence of the ethenyl group indicates that it has a vinyl functional group, making it potentially reactive in polymerization processes. This compound is typically a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. Its nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions. The methoxy group, on the other hand, can provide some electron-donating characteristics, affecting the compound's overall reactivity. 4-Ethenyl-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the production of polymers. However, handling this compound requires caution due to potential toxicity associated with nitroaromatic compounds.
