2,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenol; CAS No.: 19499-93-5; 2,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenol. PROPERTIES: This nitro-substituted phenol is a pale yellow crystalline solid with molecular formula C8H8N O3. It has molecular weight of 164.16 g/mol and melting point between 65-70 C. The compound is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves in ethanol and acetone. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from reducing agents as it may cause fire or explosion when exposed to heat or flame. Being an oxidizing agent, it requires careful handling with appropriate fire extinguishing equipment available. APPLICATIONS: In the pharmaceutical industry, this compound serves as intermediate for producing sulfonamide antibiotics. The nitro group is reduced to amine during synthesis, which then participates in sulfonamide bond formation (Journal of Antibiotics). The hydroxy group provides site for further functionalization. In specialty chemicals, it acts as starting material for producing azo dyes where the nitro group is converted to diazonium salt for coupling reactions (Journal of Applied Polymer Science). The methyl groups provide steric effects that influence dye color and stability. Additionally, it functions as building block for producing agrochemicals though agricultural uses are excluded per your request. Its nitro and hydroxy substituents provide diverse reaction pathways for constructing various aromatic compounds.
