o-Nitroanisole is an organic compound with the formula CH3OC6H4NO2. Three isomers of nitroanisole exist, but the o-isomer is the most commercially important. It is a colorless liquid.
It is prepared by treatment of o-chloronitrobenzene with sodium methoxide:[1]
- NaOCH3 + ClC6H4NO2 → CH3OC6H4NO2 + NaCl
The resulting 2-chloronitrobenzene can be reduced to o-anisidine, which is a precursor to dyes.
