Butanoic acid, 2-nitrophenyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 2-nitrophenyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2487-26-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanoic acid moiety esterified with a 2-nitrophenol group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butanoic acid chain. The presence of the nitro group on the phenyl ring contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The compound may exhibit moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Its applications can range from use in organic synthesis to serving as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol under suitable conditions.

2-Nitrophenyl butyrate

CAS: 2487-26-5

2-Nitrophenyl butyrate is a chromogenic enzyme substrate that is commonly used in enzymatic assays to detect lipases and esterases. When hydrolyzed by these enzymes, the substrate yields a yellow product that can be detected spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. The advantage of using 2-nitrophenyl butyrate is its high sensitivity and specificity for detecting lipolytic and esterolytic activities. This substrate is widely used in various applications, including enzyme kinetics studies, inhibitor screening, and the determination of esterase activity in biological samples such as serum, plasma, and cell lysates.
