General description: 2-Nitrotoluene is a nitroaromatic compound. Multi-functional magnetic resins having high surface area and ion exchange efficiency (GMA30-1 and GMA30-2) were developed and were tested for the desorption of 2-nitrotolene. Its dioxygenation by nitrobenzene dioxygenase has been studied to evaluate the isotope fractionation. It has been reported as nitroaromatic explosive. Terbium-based magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF) nanospheres have been fabricated, which can detect the trace quantities of 2-nitrotoluene.
Application: 2-Nitrotoluene may be employed as nitrogen supplement in the culture medium of Pseudomonas sp. strain ClS1. It may be employed as carbon and energy supplement in the culture medium of Pseudomonas sp. strain JS42.
