Introduction
Use:
Nitroanisole is widely used as a essence because it can give products a unique aroma. In addition, nitrobenzyl ether can also be used to synthesize certain dyes as a solvent and cleaning agent.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of nitroanisole can be obtained by the reaction of nitric acid and anisole. Usually, nitric acid is first mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid to become nitramine. Nitramine is then reacted with anisole under acidic conditions to give finally nitroanisole.
Safety Information:
Nitroanisole is an organic compound and should be used with caution. Its vapors and dust can irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective masks during operation or contact to avoid skin and eye damage. In addition, nitroanisole has certain explosive properties and avoids contact with high heat, open flames and strong oxidants.
