Product Information

• Name: 2-Chloro-5-nitroquinoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Chloro-5-nitroquinoline is an oxidized aminoquinoline that is synthesized from nitric acid and benzene. It contains a nitro group, which makes it susceptible to oxidation. 2-Chloro-5-nitroquinoline is used as a solvent for rubber, plastics, and waxes. It can also be used as a solvent in the production of quinolines and other nitrogen compounds. Nitration of this compound produces 2-chloroquinoline, which can be transformed into 2-chloroquinolinium hydroxide by reaction with sodium hydroxide. The substituent on the ortho position can be determined by oleum or bromine water.
