1,2-Ethanediol, 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-

Description:

1,2-Ethanediol, 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-, also known as 4-nitrophenyl ethylene glycol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an ethylene glycol moiety and a nitrophenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. It is soluble in water and various organic solvents, which enhances its utility in chemical applications. The presence of the nitro group (-NO2) on the phenyl ring contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting physical properties such as viscosity and boiling point, influenced by its molecular structure. Due to its functional groups, it may also show biological activity, which could be relevant in pharmaceutical or agrochemical contexts. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds with nitro groups can sometimes pose health risks.
