 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  [Chemical Properties]
  3-Nitrophthalic acid (CAS Number 603-11-2) is a Pale yellow crystals. It can be dissolved in hot water, methanol, and ethanol. It has limited solubility in ether and is insoluble in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, and benzene.                        
 |  [Uses]
  3-Nitrophthalic acid may be used as starting reagent in the synthesis of modified 2-iodoxybenzoic acid derivatives. It may be used in the synthesis of brucinium 2-carboxy-6-nitrophthalate dihydrate (systematic name: 2,3-dimethoxy-10-oxostrychnidinium 2-carboxy-6-nitrophthalate dihydrate), via heating with brucine. |  [Preparation]
  Phthalic anhydride was added to concentrated sulfuric acid, stirring under the passage of water vapor heating to 80 °C, fuming nitric acid was added dropwise, the reaction temperature to maintain 100-110°C, add the end of the heat above 110°C for 2h, placed in the overnight pour into the water, and filtered. The filter cake was recrystallized with water to obtain 3-Nitrophthalic acid. Yield of about 30%. |  [Synthesis Reference(s)]

 3-Nitrophthalic acid is a degradation product of isoxaben herbicide. It acts as ligand and forms rare-earth complexes.   |  [Safety Profile]
  A preparative hazard. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. |  [Purification Methods]
  Crystallise 3-nitrophthalic acid from hot water (1.5mL/g). Dry it in air. The amide has m 201o (from EtOH). [Beilstein 9 H 823, 9 IV 3275.] |
