3-Nitrobenzoic acid

CAS: 121-92-6
Molecular Formula: C7H4NO4
Molecular Weight: 166.1115
Product description:White or light yellow crystal or crystalline powder, bitter almonds.More easily soluble in cold water, soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, chloroform, methanol and acetone, slightly soluble in benzene. Carbon disulfide and petroleum ether.Industry with benzoic acid as raw materials, in the presence of sulfuric acid with sodium nitrate nitrification, the yield can reach 60%. If use benzoyl methanol esterification in the presence of sulfuric acid into benzoic acid methyl ester, nitration with mixed acid, then hydrolysis and production in this way is a bit of trouble, but the yield of nearly 70%. Can also be used mixed acid direct nitration. The yield is about 60%.
