Benzoic acid, o-nitro-, ethyl ester - Introduction
Ethyl 2-nitrobenzoate is an organic compound with a chemical formula of C9H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 195.17. It is a colorless or pale yellow liquid with a fragrant odor.
Ethyl 2-nitrobenzoate is commonly used as a reagent and intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize other organic compounds, such as fluorescent dyes, fragrances, etc. In addition, it can also be used as a raw material for insecticides and fungicides.
A common method for preparing Ethyl 2-nitrobenzoate is to react benzoic acid with nitric acid to form 2-nitrobenzoic acid, and then react with ethanol to form Ethyl 2-nitrobenzoate.
Regarding safety information, Ethyl 2-nitrobenzoate may cause irritation when in contact with skin, eyes or inhalation and direct contact should be avoided. Wear suitable protective equipment such as gloves and goggles when used. At the same time, it should be operated in a well-ventilated place.
