Description

Ethyl (4-nitrophenyl)acetate is a molecule that has been used in biological studies as an active substance for its antibacterial properties. It has been shown to have minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.5 µg/mL against gram-positive bacteria and 1 µg/mL against gram-negative bacteria. The molecule is also the main active methylene in the ethyl ester. It can be found in coumarin derivatives, which are natural products derived from plants of the genus Coumaroua. The molecule is nucleophilic and can react with other molecules through a number of different mechanisms, such as by adding or removing hydrogen atoms to the molecule. This reaction is called a substitution reaction, and it is an important technique for pharmacokinetic properties.
