Benzonitrile, 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitro-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitro- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a nitrile functional group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. The presence of a bromine atom at the 5-position, a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 2-position, and a nitro group (-NO2) at the 3-position contributes to its unique chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group. The bromine and nitro substituents can influence its electronic properties, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitutions and nucleophilic attacks. Additionally, the compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as the presence of nitro and bromine groups can impart toxicity and environmental concerns.
