CAS 81-20-9: 2,6-Dimethylnitrobenzene

2-Nitro-m-xylene is employed as a pharmaceutical intermediate in organic synthesis. It is also used in the preparation of Direct Violet 7 and solvent Red 26. Further, it is used in the petrochemical industry. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

2,6-Dimethlnitrobenzene is an organic compound that has been found to have a kinetic data of optimal reaction. The fluorescence probe reacts with fatty acids and the metastable molecule is nitro. It can be oxidized by oxidation catalyst at low energy and it forms palladium complexes in organic solution. 2,6-Dimethlnitrobenzene has been used as a cross-linking agent for biological studies and pharmaceutical preparations. It also inhibits a number of enzymes, including phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase, and lipoxygenase.

Applications 1,3-Dimethyl-2-nitrobenzene is an aromatic compound that is present as a contaminant in agricultural water sources. 1,3-Dimethyl-2-nitrobenzene is also a derivative of Xylene (X749400), an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used in the petrochemical industry. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Chen, C., et al.: J. Air Was. Manag. Ass., 55, 1487 (2005); Li, P.,e t al.: Bull.
