3-Nitrobenzaldehyde (Cat No.: R017618) is an aromatic compound consisting of a benzene ring substituted with a nitro group at the meta (3) position and an aldehyde group at the 1 position. It appears as a pale yellow crystalline solid and is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The nitro group is electron-withdrawing, making the compound reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution and condensation reactions. 3-Nitrobenzaldehyde is also employed in organic synthesis for preparing heterocycles and fine chemicals.
