General description

2-Methoxy-5-nitroaniline is an aromatic metabolite of 2,4-dinitroanisole.[1]

Application

2-Methoxy-5-nitroaniline was used in the synthesis of 5-(9-acridinylamino)-p-anisidines via reaction with 9-anilinoacridines.[2] It was also used in the synthesis of disazo disperse dyes containing nitro and methoxy groups, used for the dyeing of polyester fibre.[3]

2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is an insensitive munitions compound considered to replace conventional explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). DNAN undergoes facile microbial reduction to 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (MENA) and 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN). This study investigated the inhibitory effect of DNAN, MENA, and DAAN toward various

Reductive degradation of three typical multi-substituted nitroaromatic pollutants by zero valent iron was comprehensively compared in terms of performance, kinetics, toxicity and mechanisms in this study. The results showed that 0.5 mM 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) could
