3-Methoxy-4-nitrotoluene is a key nitroaromatic intermediate synthesized via selective nitration of 3-methylanisole. Its molecular formula is C8H9NO3 (CAS No. 1205-76-7), serving as a critical precursor in fine chemical manufacturing.
Requires storage in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must utilize PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves due to potential toxicity and skin irritation risks associated with nitro compounds.
