4-Nitrotoluene

Description:
4-Nitrotoluene, also known as para-nitrotoluene, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a toluene molecule with a nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the para position relative to the methyl group (-CH3). It appears as a pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid with a characteristic odor. This compound is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 4-Nitrotoluene is primarily used in the production of dyes, explosives, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals. It exhibits moderate toxicity and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. Additionally, it is classified as a potential environmental pollutant, necessitating careful handling and disposal. The compound has a melting point that allows it to exist in both solid and liquid states under standard conditions, and it is stable under normal conditions but can undergo nitration reactions under specific circumstances. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance due to its hazardous nature.
