Beschreibung

4-Nitrophenyl octyl ether (4NPE) is a hydroxylating agent that can be used in organic synthesis. It has been shown to catalyze the hydroxylation of benzoate and other substrates, as well as the oxidation of fatty acids. 4NPE is capable of acting on both inorganic and organic substrates. The redox potential of 4NPE is in the range of -0.5 to -1.0 volts, making it suitable for use in a variety of reactions involving electron transfer from different types of substrates. 4NPE binds to the thiol group on cysteine residues with high affinity and specificity, which may be due to its ability to bind metal ions such as copper or zinc. Additionally, 4NPE has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on fatty acid synthase, a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism.
