CAS 881-03-8: 2-Methyl-1-nitronaphthalene

Description: 2-Methyl-1-nitronaphthalene is an organic compound classified as a nitroaromatic compound. It features a naphthalene backbone with a methyl group and a nitro group positioned at the 2 and 1 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its aromatic properties. It has a relatively high melting point and boiling point compared to many other organic compounds, reflecting its stable structure. 2-Methyl-1-nitronaphthalene is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical products. Due to the presence of the nitro group, it may exhibit some degree of toxicity and environmental persistence, necessitating careful handling and disposal. As with many nitro compounds, it may also undergo reduction reactions under certain conditions, leading to various derivatives. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and exposure guidelines.
