Product Description
CAS No. 348-52-7 is an organic compound known as 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (3-MNP). It is a pale yellow to yellowish-brown solid with a sweet, musty odor. It is a high-boiling aromatic nitro compound that is soluble in most organic solvents.
3-MNP is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid that is freely soluble in water and a variety of organic solvents. It is a non-corrosive, non-flammable, non-volatile, and non-toxic material. The chemical is an intermediate in the production of a wide range of aromatic nitro compounds and is used primarily as an intermediate in the production of dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
3-MNP is used as an intermediate in the production of dyes and pigments, such as the yellow pigment, flavin. It is also used in the manufacture of various plasticizers, such as hydroxybenzoic acid, and in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, including antineoplastics and antibiotics.
3-MNP is also used as a catalyst in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds, including esters, ethers, and amines. It is also used in the synthesis of various other organic compounds, such as hydroxylamines and nitriles.
In addition to its use in the production of dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, 3-MNP also has potential applications in the field of biotechnology. It is being explored as a possible agent for gene transfer and gene therapy, as well as for the production of bio-based chemicals.
3-MNP is considered to be a moderately hazardous material and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area and kept away from sources of ignition. It is important to wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and other protective clothing when handling this material.
