Ref. 3D-FC54328

Product Information

• Name: 2-Cyano-5-nitrophenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Cyano-5-nitrophenol is a solvent with a molecular weight of 116.07 and a boiling point of 218°C. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and acetone. 2-Cyano-5-nitrophenol has been shown to decarboxylate to produce 2-cyanophenol. This reaction may be correlated to the descriptors of solvents (e.g., polarity), organic chemistry (e.g., acidity), and parameters (e.g., boiling point). The solubility of 2-cyano-5-nitrophenol depends on the solvent used, with a high solubility in water and acetone but low solubility in ethanol and ether.
