CAS 939-83-3

2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile

Description:

2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile, with the CAS number 939-83-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both a methyl group and a nitro group, as well as a cyano group (nitrile). This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its pale yellow to light brown color. It is relatively insoluble in water but may dissolve in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of the nitro group imparts certain reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Additionally, the nitrile functional group contributes to its polar nature, influencing its interactions in chemical processes. 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.

3-Cyano-4-methylnitrobenzene

CAS: 939-83-3

3-Cyano-4-methylnitrobenzene is a nitro compound that can be prepared by the reaction of nitric acid with aniline. It has been shown to have a strong affinity for oxygen, which may be due to its pyran ring. 3-Cyano-4-methylnitrobenzene has been found to react with acetonitrile in an electrochemical experiment, leading to the formation of nitronium ion and nitrate ion. The mechanism for this reaction is not well understood, but it offers a convenient way of preparing 3-cyano-4-methylnitrobenzene from nitric acid and aniline.
