Description

4-Aminobutyrophenone is a butyrophenone, a nitro compound that is the amine derivative of 4-aminobutyric acid. This product is used as a control agent in pest control and as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and dyes. It has been used to produce methemoglobin, which is used to treat nitrate poisoning. 4-Aminobutyrophenone undergoes acylation reactions with chloride or sulfoxide groups to form chlorohydrins and thiohydrins respectively. These products are bioisosteres of the carbonyl group, which can be hydrolyzed with acid or alkali to produce carboxylic acids or alcohols respectively. Friedel-Crafts acylation with phenol gives benzoylphenylhydroxylamine, which can be oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to give the corresponding nitro compound.
