3-Nitroaniline is an organic compound with the formula H2NC6H4NO2. A yellow solid, it is a derivative of aniline, carrying a nitro functional group in position 3. It is an isomer of 2-nitroaniline and 4-nitroaniline. It is used as a precursor to dyes.[1]
Synthesis and applications
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/DisperseYellow5.svg/220px-DisperseYellow5.svg.png)
3-Nitroaniline is produced on a commercial scale by reduction of 1,3-dinitrobenzene with hydrogen sulfide:[1]
In principle it can also be prepared by nitration of benzamide followed by the Hofmann rearrangement of the resulting 3-nitrobenzamide. The reaction involves treating the 3-nitrobenzamide with sodium hypobromite or sodium hypochlorite to transform the amide group into an amine.
It is used as a chemical intermediate for azo coupling component 17 and the dyes disperse yellow 5 and acid blue 29. The chemical is changed to other substances (dyestuffs and m-nitrophenol) during the dyeing process.
