3-Nitrocatechol

Description:

3-Nitrocatechol, with the CAS number 6665-98-1, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitrophenols. It features a catechol structure, which consists of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups positioned at the 1 and 2 positions, along with a nitro group (-NO2) at the 3 position. This compound is typically a yellowish solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. 3-Nitrocatechol exhibits properties such as being a weak acid, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including nitration and oxidation. It is often used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, due to its nitro group, it may exhibit biological activity and has been studied for its potential effects on living organisms. Proper handling and safety measures are essential, as nitro compounds can be hazardous.

3-Nitro-benzene-1,2-diol

CAS: 6665-98-1

3-Nitro-benzene-1,2-diol is an inhibitor of catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT), which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl methionine to dopamine. This results in the formation of 3-O-(methylamino) catechol. COMT inhibitors are used as pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other diseases involving dopamine. 3-Nitro-benzene-1,2-diol has been shown to inhibit COMT and prevent the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, which may be beneficial for treating Parkinson's disease and other nervous system diseases.
