4-methoxy-3-nitrophenol; CAS No.: 15174-02-4; 4-methoxy-3-nitrophenol. PROPERTIES: This nitro-substituted phenol is a yellow crystalline powder with molecular formula C7H7N O3. It has molecular weight of 153.14 g/mol and melting point between 120-125 C. The compound is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves in methanol and acetone. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from reducing agents and acids. Being an organic acid and oxidizing agent, it may cause skin irritation and fire hazards; appropriate PPE and fire prevention measures are essential. APPLICATIONS: In the pharmaceutical industry, this compound serves as intermediate for producing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The nitro group provides electron-withdrawing effects that influence receptor binding affinity while the methoxy group directs substitution patterns during synthesis (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). 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 hydroxy group provides site for further functionalization. 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.
