2-Nitrobenzaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula . It is one of three isomers of nitrobenzaldehyde. It contains a nitro group adjacent to the formyl group.
==Synthesis== The nitration of benzaldehyde produces mostly 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. Partly for this reason, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde is prepared by indirect routes. The main routes to nitrobenzaldehyde begin with the nitration of styrene or cinnamic acid followed by the conversions of the resulting 2-nitrostyrene and 2-nitrocinnamic acids, respectively. Cinnamaldehyde can also be nitrated in high-yield to 2-nitrocinnamaldehyde. This compound is then oxidized to 2-nitrocinnamic acid, which is decarboxylated to the 2-nitrostyrene. The vinyl group can be oxidized in a number of different ways to yield 2-nitrobenzaldehyde.
