Nitro Compounds

The nitro group is one of the strongest electron-withdrawing substituents in organic chemistry, and that single property governs the whole class. Nitro groups also reduce cleanly to amines, making nitroarenes the standard entry point to aniline dyes and pharmaceutical intermediates. Molychem supplies nitro compounds including nitrobenzene, 4-nitrotoluene and 1-chloro- 2,4-dinitrobenzene in synthesis and AR grades.
