3Nitrobenzoic

3Nitrobenzoic is a derivative of benzoic acid, specifically 3-nitrobenzoic acid. It is a white or yellowish crystalline solid with a melting point of 99-101°C and a boiling point of 223-224°C at atmospheric pressure.

Synthesis of 3Nitrobenzoic typically involves the nitration of toluene or other methylbenzene derivatives using a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids as nitrating agents. Further hydrolysis of the resulting product yields the desired 3Nitrobenzoic acid.

3Nitrobenzoic has been investigated for its potential biological activity, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, few studies have thoroughly examined its in vivo effects, and more research is required to fully understand its biological actions.

As a reagent, 3Nitrobenzoic is used in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds and as a catalyst in dehydration reactions. It has also been explored for its potential use as a starting material in the preparation of other organic compounds.

Emergency procedures for handling 3Nitrobenzoic include wearing suitable protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, and storing the substance in a well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.

Caution is advised when handling 3Nitrobenzoic due to its potential to cause irritation to skin and mucous membranes. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of the substance may also pose health risks.
