Description

Sodium 3-nitrobenzoate (CAS 827-95-2 ) is the sodium salt form of 3-nitrobenzoic acid, offering improved solubility and handling characteristics suited to industrial processing. It functions primarily as a chemical intermediate and catalyst component. This versatile compound is utilized across pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical manufacturing, and specialty chemical production. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The nitro group provides a reactive site for further chemical transformation during complex synthesis. Agrochemical producers use it in the preparation of herbicide and pesticide intermediates where controlled reactivity is required. Its performance under aqueous conditions is a distinct process advantage for many manufacturers. In printing and packaging, it contributes to the formulation of dyes and pigment precursors requiring stable aromatic nitro intermediates. Its buffering and pH-regulating properties also make it relevant in process chemistry applications. These characteristics are vital where reaction environment control directly affects final yield and product quality. Sodium 3-nitrobenzoate is typically supplied as a crystalline powder or fine solid for industrial use. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with material available in laboratory quantities through to bulk packaging. Pharmaceutical-intermediate-grade material with documented purity specifications is available for regulated synthesis. This ensures compliance with internal quality controls and specific manufacturing requirements for high-purity applications. Contact us for supply of Sodium 3-nitrobenzoate Request Quote
