3-Nitrotoluene

Description:
3-Nitrotoluene, with the CAS number 99-08-1, is an aromatic nitro compound derived from toluene. It features a nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the meta position relative to the methyl group (-CH3) on the benzene ring. This compound is typically a pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and has a characteristic aromatic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 3-Nitrotoluene is primarily used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is important to note that, like many nitro compounds, it can be hazardous; it is flammable and may pose health risks upon exposure, necessitating proper handling and safety precautions. Additionally, it can undergo various chemical reactions, including reduction and nitration, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis.
