3nitroanisole
3-Nitroanisole, also known as m-nitroanisole, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H7NO3. It is a derivative of anisole where a nitro group is substituted at the meta position of the benzene ring. At room temperature, it typically appears as a pale yellow crystalline solid. It is sparingly soluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.
The synthesis of 3-nitroanisole can be achieved through the nitration of anisole. This process involves reacting
3-Nitroanisole serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It can be reduced to
