Overview of 2-Nitrotoluene

2-Nitrotoluene is an important aromatic nitro compound widely used in dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, rubber chemicals, and speciality organic synthesis. It is one of the positional isomers of nitrotoluene, where the nitro (-NO₂) group is attached to the second position of the toluene ring.

The molecular formula of 2-nitrotoluene is C₇H₇NO₂. It is typically supplied as a pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odour.

Key physical properties include:

• 2-nitrotoluene solubility: Slightly soluble in water, highly soluble in organic solvents

• Moderate density and stable under normal industrial storage conditions

Due to its reactive nitro group and methyl substitution, it is widely used as an intermediate in nitration, reduction, and substitution reactions.
