Sodium 2-nitrophenolate(CAS: 824-39-5)

Sodium 2-nitrophenolate is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula C6H4(NO2)NaO. It is a white or pale yellow crystalline solid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water and ethanol. This compound is often used as a salt form of 2-nitrophenol and has applications in organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and pharmaceuticals.

Sodium 2-nitrophenolate is mainly used in organic synthesis as a reagent for preparing other nitro compounds. It is also utilized in analytical chemistry for derivatization reactions and in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of dyes and pigments.

Sodium 2-nitrophenolate is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it is corrosive to metals and skin due to its basic nature. It should be handled with gloves and protective eyewear. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Dispose of it in compliance with local regulations. It is not classified as hazardous under the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

Sodium 2-nitrophenolate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. It is stable under these conditions, but avoid contact with acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents. Store it at room temperature (15-25°C) and maintain a relative humidity below 60%. Do not store near incompatible materials.
