Nitrobenzene is an aromatic nitro compound and the simplest of the nitrobenzenes, with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 NO 2. It is a water-insoluble pale yellow oil with an almond -like odor. It freezes to give greenish-yellow crystals.
The nitration product produced on the largest scale, by far, is nitrobenzene. Many explosives are produced by nitration including trinitrophenol (picric acid), trinitrotoluene (TNT), and trinitroresorcinol (styphnic acid). [3] Another but more specialized method for making aryl–NO 2 group starts from halogenated phenols, is the Zinke nitration.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
Nitrosobenzene was first prepared by Adolf von Baeyer by the reaction of diphenylmercury and nitrosyl bromide: [4] (C 6 H 5) 2 Hg + BrNO → C 6 H 5 NO + C 6 H 5 HgBr. A modern synthesis entails reduction of nitrobenzene to phenylhydroxylamine (C 6 H 5 NHOH) which is then oxidized by sodium dichromate (Na 2 Cr 2 O 7).
This compound can be prepared by the reduction of nitrobenzene with zinc in the presence of NH 4 Cl. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Alternatively, it can be prepared by transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene using hydrazine as an H 2 source over a rhodium catalyst .
1,3-Dinitrobenzene is accessible by nitration of nitrobenzene. The reaction proceeds under acid catalysis using sulfuric acid. The directing effect of the nitro group of nitrobenzene leads to 93% of the product resulting from nitration at the meta-position. The ortho- and para-products occur in only 6% and 1%, respectively.

4-Nitrophenol is an intermediate in the synthesis of paracetamol.It is reduced to 4-aminophenol, then acetylated with acetic anhydride. [6]4-Nitrophenol is used as the precursor for the preparation of phenetidine and acetophenetidine, indicators, and raw materials for fungicides.
