(2-amino-3-nitrophenyl)methanol; CAS No.: 139743-08-1; (2-amino-3-nitrophenyl)methanol. PROPERTIES: This nitro-substituted phenylmethanol is a pale yellow solid with molecular formula C7H7N2O3. It has molecular weight of 165.15 g/mol and melting point between 55-60 C. The compound is moderately soluble in methanol and acetone but has limited water solubility. Recommended storage is in amber glass bottles at 2-8 C to prevent photodegradation and hydrolysis of the nitro group. Being a nitro compound, it may cause explosions when exposed to high heat or shock; proper grounding and spark-proof tools are required. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound serves as intermediate for producing antibacterial agents. The amino and nitro groups provide redox-active centers that interfere with bacterial metabolic pathways (Journal of Antibiotics). In materials science, it acts as building block for producing electroactive materials where the nitro group is reduced to amino in situ to form conductive polymers (Synthetic Metals). Additionally, it functions as starting material for producing fluorescent dyes where the hydroxymethyl group is modified with fluorophores through etherification or esterification reactions (Dyes and Pigments). These applications leverage its combination of nitro, amino, and hydroxymethyl functionalities for constructing pharmaceuticals and functional materials with tailored electronic properties.
