2-Nitrotoluene

Description:
2-Nitrotoluene, with the CAS number 88-72-2, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the second carbon of a toluene molecule. It appears as a pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. This compound is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2-Nitrotoluene is primarily used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, and it serves as an intermediate in various chemical syntheses. It has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate flash point, indicating that it can be flammable under certain conditions. The compound is classified as hazardous, with potential health effects including skin and eye irritation, and it may pose environmental risks if released into water bodies. Proper handling and storage are essential to mitigate exposure and ensure safety in industrial applications.
