Application

Methyl 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and kinase inhibitors. Its nitro group enables selective reduction to amines or participation in cyclization reactions to form indoles and benzimidazoles. The compound is also employed in material science for designing photoactive polymers and as a building block for liquid crystal derivatives.
