2-Nitrocinnamaldehyde, ortho-nitrocinnamaldehyde or o-nitrocinnamaldehyde is an organic aromatic compound containing a nitro group ortho- to the 1-position of cinnamaldehyde.

Synthesis

2-Nitrocinnamaldehyde can be synthesized by dissolving cinnamaldehyde to a solution of acetic anhydride in acetic acid, and adding a stoichiometric amount of concentrated nitric acid at 0–5 °C. Yields are around 36-46% of theoretical.

Nitration of cinnamaldehyde via acidification of a nitrate salt with H₂SO₄ also yields the ortho-nitro compound, however it also yields some of the para-nitro compound, which is generally undesired.

2-Nitrocinnamaldehyde can also be prepared by reacting 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in a condensation reaction.[2]

Uses

2-Nitrocinnamaldehyde can be oxidized to 2-nitrocinnamic acid which can be used in the Baeyer-Emmerling indole synthesis to produce indole and substituted indoles.

gollark: You can try it in an emulator.

gollark: PotatOS is serious. But also for CC.

gollark: Obviously it can only detect virii and bad programs I know of and program in right now.

gollark: Also, it doesn't strictly filter code on *startup*, it filters *any code executed after bootup*.

gollark: [REDACTED], and [LEVEL Δ-7 CLEARANCE REQUIRED].
