Nitromethane

Description:
Nitromethane, with the chemical formula CH3NO2 and CAS number 75-52-5, is a colorless, volatile liquid that is known for its distinctive sweet odor. It is classified as an organic nitro compound and is primarily used as a solvent, fuel, and in the synthesis of other chemicals. Nitromethane has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in water, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a fuel additive in high-performance racing and as a solvent in chemical reactions. Its chemical structure features a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a methyl group (CH3), contributing to its reactivity. While it is considered to have low toxicity, it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested in significant quantities. Additionally, nitromethane is known for its explosive properties under certain conditions, making it important to handle with care. Overall, its unique characteristics make it a valuable compound in both industrial and laboratory settings.
