Description:2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 80866-80-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated aromatic ring and a nitro group, along with a hydroxymethyl functional group. This compound features a chlorine atom at the second position and a nitro group at the fifth position of the benzene ring, which influences its reactivity and properties. The hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) contributes to its potential as a reactive intermediate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The presence of both the nitro and chloro substituents can enhance the compound's electrophilic character, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, 2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzenemethanol may exhibit specific solubility characteristics, typically being soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxymethyl group, while the aromatic structure may provide some degree of hydrophobicity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as compounds with halogen and nitro groups can pose health and environmental risks.
