2-Nitrodiphenylamine
1. Basic Information
Name: 2-Nitrodiphenylamine
Alias: o-Nitrodiphenylamine, 2-Nitro-N-phenylaniline
CAS No.: 119-75-5
Molecular Formula: C12H10N2O2
Molecular Weight: 214.22
Category: Aromatic nitroamine fine chemical raw material, rubber anti-aging agent intermediate, gunpowder stabilizer, dye synthesis building block
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Orange-red to dark red crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint aromatic amine odor
- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, methanol, acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate; slightly soluble in hot water; insoluble in cold water and aliphatic alkanes
- Melting Point: 74–76 ℃
- Density (predicted): 1.26 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal humidity
- Aqueous property: Neutral suspension in water, stable in neutral and weak acid environments
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Diphenylamine with ortho-nitro substituent, contains secondary amine and nitro group on benzene ring
- Antioxidant characteristic: Secondary amine structure can capture free radicals, widely used as anti-degradation stabilizer for polymer materials and propellants
- Nitro reduction: Nitro group can be reduced to amino group to prepare o-amino diphenylamine dye intermediates
- Diazotization reaction: Aromatic amino derivatives obtained after reduction can undergo diazotization to synthesize azo dyes
- Thermal stability: Stable below 70 ℃; long-term heating above melting point will cause slight decomposition and deepening color
- Photostability: Highly light-sensitive; UV irradiation accelerates oxidation and turns dark brown
- Compatibility: Compatible with oil-soluble organic solvents and rubber raw materials; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid

Safety Warning
Toxic irritant nitroaromatic crystalline powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory tract; skin absorption may cause methemoglobinemia. All operations must be carried out in fully ventilated explosion-proof fume hood with dust-proof respirator, splash-proof goggles and heavy chemical-resistant nitrile gloves. Keep away from open flame, high temperature and strong oxidants to avoid risk of combustion. Waste liquid fully neutralized before discharge; solid waste classified as toxic nitroaromatic hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
