CAS 96-91-3

Picramic acid

Description:

Picramic acid, with the CAS number 96-91-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic amines. It is derived from picric acid through the reduction of its nitro groups. This compound is characterized by its yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its solubility in water and organic solvents. Picramic acid exhibits acidic properties due to the presence of a carboxylic acid functional group, which allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. It is also recognized for its potential use in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. However, it is important to note that picramic acid can be toxic and poses environmental hazards, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Additionally, due to its structural similarity to other nitroaromatic compounds, it may exhibit mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, which raises safety concerns in its use and application.
