    6‑Nitrothymol CAS 2216‑45‑7

    6‑Nitrothymol is a nitro‑substituted phenolic compound used as a chemical intermediate in industrial formulation systems. Commonly referenced as nitrothymol or 6‑nitro‑2‑isopropyl‑5‑methylphenol, this material contains both phenolic and nitro functional groups, enabling predictable acid–base response behavior and controlled reactivity in formulation design. Identified by CAS 2216‑45‑7, it is typically applied as a pH indicator intermediate, where defined substitution patterns support consistent performance in downstream chemical preparation.
    For industrial supply, this product is available with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, full documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, and supports bulk supply requirements.

    Application Areas

    Organic synthesis: As an important nitration reagent, it is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and organic compounds. Serve as a nitration agent in chemical reactions, promoting the formation of nitro compounds.
    Pharmaceutical field: used for synthesizing various drug intermediates, specific applications need to be further developed in conjunction with downstream reactions

    Storage conditions

    Temperature and Environment
    Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
    Suggested temperature: Room temperature (15-25 ° C) or lower (if the label indicates refrigeration is required).
    Keep away from heat sources, fire sources, and oxidants (such as peroxides, nitrates, etc.).
    Container selection
    Use sealed brown glass bottles or corrosion-resistant plastic containers (such as HDPE) to avoid light decomposition.
    Isolation storage
    Separate from strong acids, strong bases, reducing agents, and flammable materials to prevent reactions.
    Store in a fume hood or specialized flammable chemical cabinet (if it is a flammable solid).

    Safety precautions

    Personal Protection
    Wear chemical resistant gloves (such as nitrile/chloroprene rubber), goggles, and lab coats during operation.
    Handle powders in a fume hood to avoid inhaling dust (it is recommended to use N95 masks or half face respirators).
    Leakage handling
    Small leakage: Cover with inert adsorbent material (such as sand) and collect in a closed container.
    Large leakage: Evacuate personnel, wear protective equipment, and contact a professional handling team.
    emergency measure
    Inhalation: Move to a place with fresh air and seek medical attention.
    Skin contact: Immediately rinse with soapy water for 15 minutes and remove contaminated clothing.
    Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
    Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth and seek medical attention, provide MSDS to the doctor.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Do 6‑Nitrothymol and nitrothymol refer to the same chemical substance?

      A: Yes. These names refer to the same compound and correspond to a single CAS registry entry.
    • Q:

      Is 6‑Nitrothymol used as an intermediate rather than a finished indicator formulation?

      A: 6‑Nitrothymol is typically applied as an intermediate in industrial formulation processes, where it is incorporated into indicator or analytical systems rather than used as a finished product.
