2-Chloro-1-methoxy-3-methyl-4-nitrobenzene

Description:

2-Chloro-1-methoxy-3-methyl-4-nitrobenzene, with the CAS number 77378-59-7, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom, a methoxy group, a methyl group, and a nitro group. The presence of these substituents influences its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility, reactivity, and boiling point. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate to low solubility in water but may be more soluble in organic solvents. The nitro group is known for its electron-withdrawing properties, which can affect the compound's reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, the methoxy group can provide some electron-donating character, influencing the overall electronic distribution within the molecule. This compound may be of interest in various chemical applications, including synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical entities. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds containing chlorine and nitro groups can pose health and environmental risks.
