Description

2-Nitropropane(2-NP) is an aliphatic nitro compound. It is a colorless, oily, and flammable liquid with a mild fruity odor. Soluble in water 1.7 mL/100 mL (20C); solubility of water in 2-nitropropane 0.6 cc/100 cc (20C); miscible with organic solvents.
As other nitroalkane, 2-NP exists in tautomeric equilibrium with its nitronic acid isomers (protonated and anionic aci forms).The aci form is amphoterically reactive, the protonated form being electrophilic and the anionic form being nucleop
