WHAT DOES NITROTOLUENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mononitrotoluene

Mononitrotoluene, or methylnitrobenzene or nitrotoluene, is a group of three organic compounds, a nitro derivative of toluene. Its chemical formula is C6H4. Mononitrotoluene comes in three isomers, differing by the relative position of the methyl and nitro groups: ▪ ortho-nitrotoluene, o-nitrotoluene, or 2-nitrotoluene. It is a pale yellow liquid with a subtle, characteristic smell, reminiscent of bitter almonds. It is non-hygroscopic and non-corrosive. ▪ meta-nitrotoluene, m-nitrotoluene, or 3-nitrotoluene. It is a yellowish-greenish to yellow liquid with weak fragrance. ▪ para-nitrotoluene, p-nitrotoluene, or 4-nitrotoluene. It is a pale yellow material forming rhombic crystals and has a somewhat pleasant, characteristic smell of bitter almonds. It is almost insoluble in water. Typical use of nitrotoluene is in production of pigments, antioxidants, agricultural chemicals, and photographic chemicals. Ortho-mononitrotoluene and para-mononitrotoluene can be also used as detection taggants for explosive detection.
