4-Nitromandelic acid

Description:
4-Nitromandelic acid is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a nitro group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a derivative of mandelic acid, where a nitro group is substituted at the para position relative to the hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is known for its yellowish color. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. 4-Nitromandelic acid is often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group, which can affect the acidity of the carboxylic acid and the overall reactivity of the molecule. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
