Product Overview
3,5-Dinitrobenzoic acid (98% purity) is a high-grade aromatic compound widely used in organic synthesis due to its strong electron-withdrawing properties. This crystalline powder exhibits excellent stability under standard lab conditions, making it a reliable reagent for derivatization reactions, esterification, and acid-base studies. Its nitro groups enhance reactivity, enabling efficient functional group transformations in multi-step synthetic pathways. The synthesis-grade purity ensures minimal impurities, reducing the need for additional purification steps and improving experimental reproducibility. Compatible with common organic solvents like ethanol, acetone, and DMSO, it dissolves readily for homogeneous reactions. The compound’s low moisture absorption rate preserves its integrity during storage, while its defined melting point (205–207°C) allows for easy characterization. Whether used as a starting material or an intermediate, its consistent performance supports precise stoichiometric calculations. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain stability.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid in water?
It has limited solubility in cold water but dissolves better in hot water or organic solvents like ethanol and acetone.
