Beschreibung

Methyl 2-nitrobenzoate is a nitro compound that has been used to synthesize benzyl esters. It has been shown to react with protonation and acidic conditions. Methyl 2-nitrobenzoate is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of methyl anthranilate, which is a component of artificial grape flavoring. The mechanism of the reaction is not fully understood, but it has been proposed that methyl 2-nitrobenzoate undergoes an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the benzoate group to form an intermediate compound called N-methyl-2-(phenylmethyl)benzamide. This intermediate then reacts with methylamine to form methyl anthranilate.

The molecule can be detected by gas chromatography or liquid chromatography in organic solvents such as methanol or acetone.
