Quality:
- 4-Nitrobenzyl alcohol is a colorless crystalline solid with a faint aromatic odor.
- It is stable at room temperature and pressure, but it may cause an explosion when exposed to heat, vibration, friction or contact with other substances.
- It can be dissolved in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and slightly soluble in water.
Use:
- 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol is an important intermediate in organic synthesis and is widely used in the preparation of a range of chemicals.
Method:
- 4-Nitrobenzyl alcohol can be obtained by the reduction reaction of p-nitrobenzene with sodium hydroxide hydrate. There are many specific conditions and methods for the reaction, which are generally carried out under acidic or alkaline conditions.
Safety Information:
- 4-Nitrobenzyl alcohol is explosive and should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as lab gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when operating.
