Product Information

• Name: 1-Chloro-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Chloro-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene is an anomalous compound that reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and nitrous oxide. The reaction starts with cleavage of the C–C bond, followed by a rearrangement to form the methylenedioxy group. This leads to a nucleophilic attack on the aromatic ring, which causes it to become electrophilic and react with water. The temperature of this reaction is dependent on the concentration of hydrochloric acid.
