Description
o-Nitrotoluene is an aromatic nitro compound offered at min. 99 % purity for synthesis. It carries CAS number 88-72-2, EG number 201-853-3, and empirical formula C₇H₇NO₂, with a molar mass of 137,13 g/mol and a density of 1,16 g/cm³. The boiling point is 222 °C and the flash point is 95 °C; the UN number is 1664. This ortho-substituted nitrotoluene is used as a synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry for further functionalisation of the aromatic ring or the methyl group under controlled laboratory conditions. The grade is specified for synthesis work where high assay and clear identity data support reproducible reactions. Specification values from manufacturer Carl ROTH provide the physical and identity parameters needed for documentation, risk assessment, and method transfer. o-Nitrotoluene in this format suits research and development laboratories requiring a well-defined nitrotoluene isomer for synthetic routes.
