2,6-Dimethylnitrobenzene

Description:
2,6-Dimethylnitrobenzene, with the CAS number 81-20-9, is an aromatic nitro compound characterized by the presence of two methyl groups and a nitro group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H11N1O2, indicating it contains nine carbon atoms, eleven hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, and two oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and has a relatively high melting point. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. 2,6-Dimethylnitrobenzene is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It exhibits characteristic nitro group reactivity, making it a useful precursor for further chemical transformations. However, like many nitro compounds, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal.
