General Description

2,4-Dimethyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H7N3O6. It is a member of the family of dinitrobenzoic acids and is a yellow crystalline solid. 2,4-Dimethyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid is mainly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, but it also has herbicidal properties and is used as a selective herbicide to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in various crops and non-crop areas. It works by disrupting the growth of the plants and is typically applied as a spray or in a liquid formulation. However, it is important to handle it with care, as it can be toxic if ingested or inhaled and can cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

Formation of dihydronaphthalenes via organocatalytic enatioselective michael-aldol cascade reactions with arylalkanes

An organocatalytic highly enantioselective Michael-aldol cascade access to valuable chiral dihydronaphthalenes has been realized. Notably, the strategy via activation of nucleophilic alkyl chains by introducing nitro, chloro, or CF3 group(s) at the ortho- and/or para-position(s) on an aromatic ring renders them readily deprotonated to produce highly reactive nulecophilic species in the cascade process under mild conditions.

Process for the production of nitro derivatives of aromatic compounds

Nitroderivates of aromatic compounds which are difficult to nitrate, can readily be obtained by nitration providing that the aromatic compound is treated with nitric acid or another nitrating agent in the presence of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons monosubstituted or polysubstituted by halogen, the nitro group or an alkyl sulphonyl group, and the nitro derivative formed subsequently isolated.
