CAS 91-23-6

2-Nitroanisole

Description:

2-Nitroanisole, with the CAS number 91-23-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitroaromatic compounds. It is characterized by the presence of a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the second position of an anisole molecule, which consists of a methoxy group (-OCH3) bonded to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown solid and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. 2-Nitroanisole is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and can serve as a reagent in organic chemistry. It exhibits properties such as being a potential mutagen and is subject to regulations due to its environmental and health impacts. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure.

2-Nitroanisole

CAS: 91-23-6

2-Nitroanisole is a chemical that can be found in the bladder of humans and rats. It is a byproduct of nitrosation reactions that occur in the body. Nitrosation reactions are catalyzed by hydrochloric acid, which converts nitric oxide to nitrous acid and further converts it to 2-nitroanisole. 2-Nitroanisole has been shown to induce genotoxic effects in rats and mice. This compound also has carcinogenic potential, as evidenced by carcinogenesis studies on rats and mice. The mechanism of action may involve the formation of reactive oxygen species that cause DNA damage.
