5-Nitro-o-anisidine is an orange-red crystalline
compound.
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.
ChEBI: 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline is a member of 4-nitroanisoles and a substituted aniline.
Orange-red needles or orange powder.
2-Amino-4-nitro anisidine is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and chloroformates .
Flash point data for 2-Amino-4-nitro anisidine are not available. 2-Amino-4-nitro anisidine is probably combustible.

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.
