Uses
4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoyl chloride was used in the synthesis of 4-amino-1,5-naphthalenedisulphonate acid monosodium salt, an intermediate employed in the synthesis of modified suramin molecule.
It may be used in the synthesis of the following:
- benzophenone derivative
- substituted 3-amino-4-methyl-N-phenylbenzamide
- retroamide
- 4-methyl-3-nitro-N-phenylbenzamide
General Description
4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoyl chloride is a benzoyl chloride derivative. It has been reported to be synthesized from 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid.
Purification Methods
Recrystallise the acid from EtOH. The S-benzylisothiuronium salt has m 167-168o (EtOH). The acid chloride [10397-30-5] has m 20-21o, b 185o/36mm, and the methyl ester [7356-11-8] crystallises as pale yellow needles from MeOH with m 51o. [Beilstein 9 H 502, 9 II 334, 9 III 2359.]
