1,3-Dinitrobenzene is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄(NO₂)₂. It is one of three isomers of dinitrobenzene. The compound is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents.

Preparation

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.[1]

Reactions

Reduction of 1,3-dinitrobenzene with sodium sulfide in aqueous solution leads to 3-nitroaniline. Further reduction with iron and hydrochloric acid (HCl) gives m-phenylenediamine.[2]

gollark: Hmm, that makes sense, I guess.

gollark: There are other events?

gollark: See, *that* makes sense.

gollark: I mean, I *might* also want stuff like that - getting mentions in messages - but much else.
