Ortho Nitro Aniline, Colour : Yellow

Ortho-nitroaniline (ONA) is an aromatic compound with the chemical formula C6H6N2O2. It is characterized by a pale yellow color and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. ONA is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. In the dye industry, it contributes to the production of azo dyes, imparting vibrant yellow to orange hues. In pharmaceuticals, ortho-nitroaniline serves as a building block for synthesizing drugs with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, ONA requires careful handling due to its toxicity, particularly affecting the liver and blood cells upon prolonged exposure. Safety measures include proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and adherence to regulatory guidelines to minimize health risks during production, handling, and disposal processes.
