5-Methoxy-nitrobenzoic acid (Cat No.: R042658) is an aromatic compound featuring a methoxy group at the 5-position and a nitro group on a benzoic acid core. This multifunctional molecule is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. The methoxy group donates electrons, while the nitro group withdraws electrons, creating a chemically versatile scaffold for further functionalization through substitution or coupling reactions. Its structure supports applications in medicinal and materials chemistry. For laboratory and research use under controlled conditions.
