Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references 3-Nitroaniline, also known as 'meta'-nitroaniline and m-nitroaniline, is non-volatile stable solid commonly used as a raw material for dyes. 3-Nitroaniline is an aniline carrying a nitro functional group in position 3. It is stable in neutral, acidic or alkaline solutions and is classified as "not readily biodegradable" with "low bioaccumulation potential" [1].
It is used as a chemical intermediate for azo coupling component 17 and the dyes disperse yellow 5 and acid blue 29. The chemical is changed to other substances (dyestuffs and m-nitrophenol) during the dyeing process.
