• Synonyms: Benzoyl Chloride, 2-Methyl-6-Nitro-

Description

2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl chloride is a carboxylic acid that is used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic chemicals. It can be synthesized by reacting aniline with nitrous acid and hydrochloric acid. The reaction yields a residue of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid, which is processed to produce 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl chloride. This compound is soluble in solvents such as chloroform, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride. The binding agent for this product should be able to react with chlorine gas to form a stable compound. Reaction conditions vary depending on the desired yield of the product. A catalytic process flow diagram can be used to design the process for producing 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl chloride from aniline and nitrous acid.
