N-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophthalimide

Ref. 3D-FC75343

Product Information

• Name: N-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophthalimide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophthalimide is a reactive substance that reacts with sodium taurocholate to form the chlorinated product 4-nitrophenylchloroacetate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme lactobacillus acidophilus and can be detected using mass spectrometry. The reaction solution containing N-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophthalimide and sodium taurocholate can then be injected onto a column for on-line, insensitive detection of lactic acid bacteria. Taurocholic acid is an intestinal bile acid that is formed from the digestion of dietary fats and cholesterol, which may react with N-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophthalimide to form a derivative that can be detected using mass spectrometry.
