2-Chloro-N-ethyl-4-nitrobenzamide

Description:

2-Chloro-N-ethyl-4-nitrobenzamide is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a nitro group and a chloro substituent on a benzene ring. The presence of the nitro group (-NO2) typically imparts significant electron-withdrawing properties, influencing the compound's reactivity and polarity. The chloro group (-Cl) adds to the compound's halogenated nature, which can affect its solubility and interaction with other chemical species. The ethyl amide functional group (-N-ethyl) suggests that the compound may exhibit basic properties due to the nitrogen atom, which can participate in hydrogen bonding. This compound is likely to be a solid at room temperature and may have applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, given the presence of both the nitro and amide functionalities, which are common in biologically active molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as compounds with nitro groups can be sensitive and potentially hazardous.
