Product Overview
3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid 99% AR is a high-purity crystalline compound widely used in organic synthesis due to its reactive nitro groups. This analytical reagent (AR) grade product ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise derivatization reactions, acid-base titrations, and intermediate synthesis in laboratory settings. The compound exhibits strong electron-withdrawing properties owing to the two nitro substituents at the meta positions, enhancing its reactivity in esterification and amide formation. Its low moisture content and stable shelf life further contribute to its reliability in experimental procedures. The powdered form allows for easy dissolution in polar solvents, facilitating seamless integration into various chemical protocols. Whether used as a derivatizing agent for amines or as a precursor in pharmaceutical intermediates, this reagent delivers consistent performance, meeting the stringent demands of research and quality control applications.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid in common solvents?
It is soluble in ethanol, acetone, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) but has limited solubility in water and nonpolar solvents like hexane.
2. Can this compound be used for derivatization of alcohols?
Yes, 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid is commonly employed to form esters with alcohols, aiding in their identification and quantification via derivatization techniques.
3. Is this product compatible with reducing agents?
The nitro groups are susceptible to reduction, so avoid strong reducing agents like lithium aluminum hydride unless intentional reduction is desired.
