Nitromethane is a versatile solvent and reagent used in organic synthesis, fuel additives, and explosives manufacturing. Nitromethane’s high oxygen content makes it a potent oxidizer and combustion enhancer in model engines and drag racing fuels. However, it is highly toxic and volatile, requiring careful handling and storage. Due to its explosive nature and health risks, nitromethane is subject to strict regulations in industrial and laboratory settings.
