2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Photodissociation

Photodissociation of 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene (ClNT) at 193, 248 and 266 nm and nitrocyclopentane (NCP) at 193 nm leads to the formation of OH, as detected by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The nascent OH produced from the photolysis of ClNT at all the wavelengths is vibrationally cold, with the Boltzmann type rotational state distributions. However, the nascent OH product from NCP is in the ground, and vibrationally excited states with the measured average relative population in v"= 1 to that in v"= 0 of 0.12 ± 0.03, and these levels are characterized by rotational temperatures of 650 ± 180 K and 1570 ± 90 K, respectively[1].

Chemical Properties

yellow to light brown crystalline mass

Uses

2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene is used as a reagent in the synthesis of 3-Chloro-2-methylaniline (C367805); a herbicide intermediate.

Production Methods

Chlorination of 2-nitrotoluene, in a process similar to the chlorination of nitrobenzene, gives a mixture of 6-chloro (80 %) and 4-chloro (20 %) isomers. The major component 2-Chloro-6-nitrotoluene is separated by vacuum distillation.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene is a nitrotoluene that is toluene in which the hydrogens ortho- to the methyl group have been replaced by a chlorine and a nitro group. A low-melting (37 ℃) solid. It is a nitrotoluene, a member of monochlorobenzenes and a volatile organic compound.
