Product Overview
2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid is a Organic Chemicals product supplied by ChemSP, the ingredient brand of Jinan Shenghe Chemical Co., Ltd.
The molecular formula C8H7NO4 resolves to 8 carbon atoms, 7 hydrogen atoms, 1 nitrogen atom and 4 oxygen atoms per molecule, which fixes both the stoichiometry and the equivalent weight used in every downstream calculation.
With MW 181.15 the material is a small molecule in the usual fine-chemical range, handled much like other solid or liquid intermediates of similar size.
Chemical Identity
| CAS Number | 1975-50-4 |
|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | C8H7NO4 |
| Molecular Weight | 181.15 |
| LogP (calculated) | 2.16 |
| Melting Point | 360 to 363 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Catalog Category | Organic Chemicals |
Composition and Key Properties
From the composition alone the material presents a nitrogen- and oxygen-bearing framework (amide, amino acid or hydroxamate type), which dictates the compatible solvent set. A comparatively low hydrogen-to-carbon ratio together with the ring count is consistent with an aromatic or otherwise highly unsaturated core.
A LogP of 2.16 places it among distinctly lipophilic substances; expect the dissolution step, not the reaction step, to set the cycle time.
Applications and Use Cases
2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 1975-50-4; formula C8H7NO4; 181.15 g/mol) is mainly applied in chemical synthesis, fine chemical manufacturing and related industrial processes. For specification, COA and bulk prices of 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, write to our sales team.
- General Manufacturing Information: Benzoic acid
- 2-methyl-3-nitro-: INACTIVE
These are uses on record, not a claim of suitability for any particular process. Whether the material fits a given application depends on the specification you set and on the regulations of the destination market.
Packaging and Handling
Supplied in standard export packaging appropriate to the physical form of the material. The exact pack size, inner liner and net weight are fixed on the order acknowledgement, since they depend on whether the lot ships as a solid, a paste or a liquid. Customers with drum, liner or pallet constraints should specify them when enquiring.
Quality and Documentation
Documentation released with the lot includes a batch-specific COA, a GHS-format safety data sheet, and a specification sheet reflecting the agreed acceptance criteria. Retained samples are kept so that a later query can be checked against the original material.
Supply and Quotation
Pricing depends on quantity and destination, so a short enquiry — product, CAS, quantity, delivery point — is enough for us to respond with a firm offer, normally the next business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number of 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid?
The CAS registry number for 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid is 1975-50-4. Please quote it on any enquiry so that a quotation is matched to the correct grade.
Is 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid a stock item or made to order?
Availability moves with the production schedule, so it is confirmed at the time of enquiry. For repeat volumes a scheduled call-off arrangement is usually preferable to one-off orders.
Can you supply 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid with a specification we define?
Yes. The acceptance criteria can be adjusted within what the route allows — most often assay, moisture, heavy metals or particle size. Any change is written into the specification before the lot is released.

Extended Specifications
2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid is supplied against a clear, batch-specific specification. When you request a quote, our team confirms the assay or purity grade, physical form, pack size and any residue limits relevant to your application. Typical parameters documented on the Certificate of Analysis include identity (CAS number), molecular formula, molecular weight, appearance, assay, loss on drying and heavy-metal limits where applicable.
Applications by Industry
Buyers source 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid across food and beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal care, and selected industrial formulations. ChemSP aligns the grade and documentation set to the target application and destination market.
Regulatory & Compliance Support
ChemSP ships 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid with a Certificate of Analysis for every batch and a Safety Data Sheet on request. Additional documentation such as specification sheets, third-party test reports and regulatory support letters is available to qualified buyers to streamline import, registration and quality-assurance workflows.
Storage & Handling
Store 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in its original, tightly closed container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Follow the precautions in the Safety Data Sheet and standard chemical-handling guidance. Shelf life and re-test intervals are stated on the Certificate of Analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on grade and pack size. Sampling quantities typically start from 1 kg, with commercial volumes from 25 kg. Share your required volume and we will quote accordingly.
Can I request a sample and a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Samples and batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are available on request, and third-party testing can be arranged for qualified buyers.
What documentation supports import and registration?
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis. The Safety Data Sheet, specification sheets and regulatory support letters are provided on request to support customs clearance and product registration in your market.
What are the typical lead times and payment terms?
Lead times vary with grade and volume. ChemSP quotes a firm delivery window with each offer, and standard international trading terms apply.

The table below is calculated from the molecular formula C8H7NO4. The values are theoretical and are intended as a reference for incoming inspection and for setting a purchase specification.
Contains nitrogen (1 atoms). Nitrogen-bearing structures are often amine-like: they can absorb carbon dioxide from air and develop odour if the packaging is not tight.
A degree of unsaturation of 6 points to an aromatic or ring-containing skeleton.
At 181.15 g/mol the molar mass is in the small-molecule range, where volatility and dust generation are the practical handling concerns.
Identity and Registry Data
- CAS number
- 1975-50-4
Handling, Storage and Stability
Protect from light and air. Unsaturated and aromatic structures tend to darken on oxidation, so opaque or inert-headspace packaging is preferred for long storage.
Store under ventilation with tightly closed packaging; amine-type nitrogen absorbs carbon dioxide from air and may develop odour.
Typical Specification Parameters
- Assay / content
- Loss on drying / moisture
- Appearance and odour
- Heavy metals (as Pb)
- Shelf life and packaging
These are the parameters normally reported on a certificate of analysis. Limits are lot-specific and follow the specification agreed between supplier and buyer; no numeric limits are stated or implied here.
