Specification
2-Nitrobenzoic Acid (CAS NO.552-16-9) is also called AI3-08821 ; CCRIS 2334 ; o-Carboxynitrobenzene ; o-Nitrobenzoic acid ; Benzoic acid, 2-nitro- ; Benzoic acid, o-nitro- ; o-Nitrobenzoic acid . 2-Nitrobenzoic Acid (CAS NO.552-16-9) is soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, acetone, methanol, soluble in water and chloroform, very slightly soluble in benzene and carbon disulfide. 2-Nitrobenzoic acid is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Also incompatible with strong bases. May react with cyanides. When 2-Nitrobenzoic acid is heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes. Flash point data concerning 2-Nitrobenzoic acid are not available, however, 2-Nitrobenzoic acid is probably combustible.
