2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 619-57-4) is a key nitro-aromatic intermediate with formula C8H7NO4. It is primarily synthesized via the oxidation of 2-methyl-3-nitrotoluene or direct nitration of toluic acid derivatives.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential skin irritation and respiratory hazards associated with nitro compounds.
