Methyl 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoate (CAS: 6198-57-0) is a key nitro-aromatic intermediate with molecular formula C9H9NO4. It is primarily synthesized via the esterification of 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid using methanol under acidic catalysis, serving as a versatile building block for pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation and toxicity. Avoid ingestion and inhalation of dust or vapors during handling.
