4-Nitrostyrene is mainly used in the following aspects:
1. chemical raw materials: as an important raw material for organic synthesis, it can be used to synthesize a variety of organic compounds.
2. Explosives and aerosols: Due to its explosive properties, 4-nitrostyrene is also used as a component of some explosives and aerosols.
There are many methods for preparing 4-nitrostyrene, one of which is commonly used by nitration of styrene. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of sulfuric acid and at low temperatures. The nitration reaction replaces one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a nitro (NO2) group to form 4-nitrostyrene.
4-Nitrostyrene is a toxic substance, so safety measures need to be taken when using or handling. It is irritating and may cause damage to the eyes and skin. Appropriate protective equipment such as glasses, gloves and protective clothing must be worn during operation. In addition, 4-nitrostyrene should be stored in sealed containers, away from sources of ignition and flammable substances. When discarded, appropriate waste disposal measures should be taken to ensure safety and environmental protection.
