Methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate(CAS#7356-11-8)

Introduction

Methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate.Properties: Methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate is a yellow liquid with an aromatic taste. The compound is stable at room temperature and soluble in organic solvents.Uses: Methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate is often used as a fluorescent dye for pyrotechnics and explosives to increase the fluorescence effect. It can also be used as a raw material for plant growth regulators and pesticides.Method: The preparation of methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate can be obtained by reacting p-toluene with nitric acid. Specifically, p-toluene is heated to the reaction temperature and nitric acid is slowly added, and after the reaction is completely cooled, methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate can be obtained by separating the product.Safety information: Methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate belongs to organic nitrification and has high explosiveness. In the process of use, the relevant safety operation procedures should be strictly adhered to to avoid contact with the fire source and friction.
