Overview of Ortho-Nitroaniline
Ortho-Nitroaniline (2-Nitroaniline, o-Nitroaniline) is an aromatic nitro compound used as a dye intermediate, pharmaceutical building block, and specialty chemical. Known for its ortho-positioned nitro and amino groups providing specific reactivity, use in producing azo dyes, and applications in pharmaceutical synthesis, o-Nitroaniline is widely used in dye manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and specialty chemical synthesis.
This compound appears as an orange-yellow crystalline solid. Its ortho-nitroaniline structure provides useful reactivity for various synthetic transformations.
Related products include meta-Nitroaniline, para-Nitroaniline, and other nitroaniline isomers used in dye and pharmaceutical synthesis.
