O-Nitroanisole
''o''-Nitroanisole is an organic compound with the formula CH3OC6H4NO2. Three isomers of nitroanisole Nitroanisole can refer to any of the three possible isomers of nitroanisole: * ''o''-Nitroanisole (2-nitroanisole) * ''m''-Nitroanisole (3-nitroanisole) * ''p''-Nitroanisole (4-nitroanisole) {{chemistry index ... exist, but the o-isomer is the most commercially important. It is a colorless liquid. It is prepared by treatment of ''o''-chloronitrobenzene with sodium methoxide: :NaOCH3 + ClC6H4NO2 → CH3OC6H4NO2 + NaCl The resulting 2-chloronitrobenzene can reduced to o-anisidine, which is a precursor to dyes.

Organic Compound
In chemistry, organic compounds are generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. The study of the properties, reactions, and syntheses of organic compounds comprise the discipline known as organic chemistry. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonate salts and cyanide salts), along with a few other exceptions (e.g., carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide), are not classified as organic compounds and are considered inorganic. Other than those just named, little consensus exists among chemists on precisely which carbon-containing compounds are excluded, making any rigorous definition of an organic compound elusive. Although organic compounds make up only a small percentage of Earth's crust, they are of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds. Living t ...
