Usage

General Description

5-Methyl-2-Nitrobenzaldehyde is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H7NO3. It falls under the category of aromatic aldehydes, which are organic compounds containing a formyl or -CHO group attached to an aromatic ring. It features a nitro-functional group (-NO2), characterized by nitrogen bonded to two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom, in its chemical structure. It's often used as a synthetic intermediate in the preparation of other complex organic molecules in the industrial and research contexts. As with many nitro-aromatics chemicals, handling this compound may need to be done with care, as its physical and chemical properties could possibly present hazards under certain conditions.
