The Uses of 2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene
2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene is used as a reagent in the synthesis of 3-Chloro-2-methylaniline (C367805); a herbicide intermediate.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene is a nitrotoluene that is toluene in which the hydrogens ortho- to the methyl group have been replaced by a chlorine and a nitro group. A low-melting (37 ℃) solid. It is a nitrotoluene, a member of monochlorobenzenes and a volatile organic compound.
Production Methods
Chlorination of 2-nitrotoluene, in a process similar to the chlorination of nitrobenzene, gives a mixture of 6-chloro (80 %) and 4-chloro (20 %) isomers. The major component 2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene is separated by vacuum distillation.
