Description

1,2-Dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene is a nitrated aromatic compound that is used in the production of other chemicals. 1,2-Dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene reacts with sodium sulfide to produce 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid. In an acidic solution, 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene undergoes nitration with phosphorus pentoxide to form a mixture of isomeric nitrates. This nitration can be done using nonpolar solvents such as xylene or benzene. The reaction mechanism for this process is similar to that of a Friedel-Crafts reaction. Covid 19 pandemic has been shown to cause population growth and an increase in the use of xylene and other organic solvents, which could lead to increased concentrations of these compounds in wastewater. Covid 19 pandemic has also been shown to cause oxidative stress, which may lead to
