For any chemical procurement specialist or R&D scientist, a thorough understanding of a compound's physicochemical properties is fundamental to its successful application. 2-Chloro-3-nitrotoluene (CAS: 3970-40-9) is no exception. Its characteristics dictate how it performs in synthesis and how it should be handled and stored. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we emphasize these critical details.

The appearance of 2-chloro-3-nitrotoluene is typically described as a light yellow liquid or powder. This physical state can vary slightly depending on purity and ambient temperature, given its melting point of 21°C. This characteristic is important for handling and storage protocols. Furthermore, its assay is consistently maintained at ≥98.0%, signifying a high degree of purity essential for its role as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in demanding applications like pharmaceutical and fine chemical production.

Other important properties include its molecular formula (C7H6ClNO2) and molecular weight (171.581 g/mol). While detailed solubility data can vary, it is generally understood to be slightly soluble in water and soluble in common organic solvents. This solubility profile is critical for selecting appropriate reaction media and purification methods. When you intend to buy this compound, understanding these parameters helps in designing efficient processes.

The reliable supply of high-quality 2-chloro-3-nitrotoluene is crucial for manufacturers. Factors such as density (1.3±0.1 g/cm³) and boiling point (262.2±20.0 °C at 760 mmHg) are also vital for process engineers.
