Introduction
3-nitroanisole(3-nitroanisole) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H7NO3. It is a colorless to yellowish solid crystal with a peculiar odor.
3-nitroanisole is widely used in the field of organic synthesis and is often used as a raw material and intermediate for organic synthesis reactions. It can be used to prepare other organic compounds, such as fluorescent dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Because it has certain aromatic properties, it can also be used in the synthesis of spices.
3-nitroanisole can be prepared by introducing a nitro group in anisole. The commonly used synthesis method is to react anisole with sodium nitrite under alkaline conditions to produce 3-nitroanisole. The reaction is usually carried out at room temperature and is accompanied by the production of water and nitrogen oxide exhaust.
When using and storing 3-nitroanisole, you need to pay attention to its safety. 3-nitroanisole is irritating and dangerous and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Direct contact with it should be avoided. During operation, it is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, protective glasses and protective masks. In addition, 3-Nitroanisole should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from fire and high temperature. When disposing of waste, follow local regulations.
