<p>4-Morpholinoaniline is a synthetic substrate that reacts with hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite to form the reactive intermediate 4-morpholinonitrosobenzene. The reaction mechanism is proposed to proceed through an initial electron transfer from the substrate to the nitrosobenzene intermediate, followed by protonation of the nitrosobenzene nitrogen atom. The resulting 4-nitrophenyl radical abstracts hydrogen from the substrate to give 4-hydroxyphenyl radical. This radical undergoes a nucleophilic attack on the aromatic ring of the substrate molecule, and cleavage of the disulfide bond in the aromatic ring leads to formation of a cyanohydrin product. Studies have been conducted on rat liver microsomes and hepatitis C virus (HCV) to investigate this reaction mechanism.</p>
