Description
6-Chloro-2-nitrotoluene is a substituted aromatic intermediate supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory and preparative organic chemistry. The substance is identified by CAS number 83-42-1 and the empirical formula C₇H₆ClNO₂, with a molar mass of 171,58 g/mol, a flash point of 125 °C, and a boiling point of 238 °C. It is offered in a 500 g pack size suitable for multi-step synthesis, scale-up trials, and intermediate stock in chemical research environments. The combination of chloro and nitro substituents on the toluene framework provides versatile handles for reduction, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and further ring functionalisation. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH gives process and discovery chemists a defined specialty nitroaromatic when consistent specification and practical quantity matter. The listing also references UN number 3457, underscoring the need for compliant handling and transport practices typical of this compound class. Integrate the material into workflows that require reliable chloronitrotoluene building blocks for dyes, agrochemical motifs, or advanced intermediate manufacture under standard laboratory safety controls.

Questions about 6-Chloro-2-nitrotoluene, min. 95 %, 500 g
What is this article?
6-Chloro-2-nitrotoluene, min. 95 %, 500 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
