:p-Nitrophenyl butyrate
Description:
p-Nitrophenyl butyrate is an organic compound that serves as a substrate for various enzymes, particularly esterases. It is characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of p-nitrophenol and butyric acid. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid, reflecting the presence of the nitro group, which contributes to its distinctive color. p-Nitrophenyl butyrate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. Its primary use in biochemical research is as a model substrate for studying enzyme kinetics, particularly in the context of enzyme activity assays. The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate by esterases results in the release of p-nitrophenol, which can be quantitatively measured, making it a valuable tool in enzymology. Additionally, due to its nitro group, it may exhibit some degree of toxicity and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings.
