Benzene, 1-azido-4-chloro-2-nitro-

Description:

Benzene, 1-azido-4-chloro-2-nitro- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with an azido group (-N3), a chloro group (-Cl), and a nitro group (-NO2). The compound is typically a yellow to orange solid, exhibiting a relatively low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. It is known for its potential use in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. The presence of the azido group indicates that it may be reactive, particularly under certain conditions, and can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The nitro group contributes to the compound's electron-withdrawing properties, influencing its reactivity and stability. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it may pose hazards such as toxicity and explosive potential under specific conditions. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to mitigate risks associated with its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
