Chemical Properties
5-Nitro-o-anisidine is an orange-red crystalline
compound.
Chemical Properties
orange to brown powder
Uses
2-Methoxy-5-nitroaniline was used in the synthesis of 5-(9-acridinylamino)-
p-anisidines via reaction with 9-anilinoacridines. It was also used in the synthesis of disazo disperse dyes containing nitro and methoxy groups, used for the dyeing of polyester fibre.

Potential Exposure
5-Nitro-o-anisidine is a chemical intermediate
in the production of C.I. Pigment red 23, which is
used as a colorant for commodities, such as printing inks,
interior latex paints; lacquers, rubber, plastics, floor coverings;
paper coating; and textiles. It is also used with other
C.I. coupling components to produce various hues of red,
brown, yellow, and violet on cotton, silk, acetate and nylon.
