Nitrobenzene

Description:
Nitrobenzene is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a benzene ring. It is a pale yellow, oily liquid with a sweet, almond-like odor. Nitrobenzene is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular formula is C6H5NO2, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 123.11 g/mol. Nitrobenzene is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of aniline and other chemicals, as well as in the production of dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. It is known for its toxicity and potential health hazards, including effects on the nervous system and the risk of methemoglobinemia upon exposure. Due to its hazardous nature, proper safety precautions are essential when handling nitrobenzene, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation. Additionally, nitrobenzene is classified as a hazardous air pollutant, and its environmental impact necessitates careful management and regulation.
