with the formula HOC 6 H 4 NO 2.Three isomeric nitrophenols exist: . o-Nitrophenol (2-nitrophenol; OH and NO 2 groups are neighboring, a yellow solid.; m-Nitrophenol (3-nitrophenol, CAS number: 554-84-7), a yellow solid (m.p. 97 °C) and precursor to the drug mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid).
4-nitro phenol is a slightly yellow, crystalline material, moderately toxic. It shows two polymorphs in the crystalline state. The alpha-form is colorless pillars, unstable at room temperature, and stable toward sunlight. The beta-form is yellow pillars, stable at room temperature, and gradually turns red upon irradiation of sunlight.
Synthesis of DNP (right) from phenol and nitric acid via 2-Nitrophenol and 4-Nitrophenol. DNP has the chemical formula HOC 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2. As a solid, it is a yellow, crystalline and has a sweet, musty odor. [1] [2] It sublimates, is volatile with steam, and is soluble in most organic solvents as well as aqueous alkaline solutions. [2]
Phenol is an organic compound appreciably soluble in water, with about 84.2 g dissolving in 1000 ml (0.895 M). Homogeneous mixtures of phenol and water at phenol to water mass ratios of ~2.6 and higher are possible. The sodium salt of phenol, sodium phenoxide, is far more water-soluble. It is a combustible solid (NFPA rating = 2).
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
The simplest is phenol, C 6 H 5 OH. Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the molecule. Phenol – the simplest of the phenols Chemical structure of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin. Phenols are both synthesized industrially and produced by plants and ...
