Description

2-Hydroxy-5-nitroacetophenone is a synthetic molecule that has two functional groups. It is synthesized by reacting morpholine with malonic acid. 2-Hydroxy-5-nitroacetophenone is an electron donor, which means it can accept electrons from other molecules. This compound can be used as a diagnostic tool for cancer cells because it reacts with oxygen to form polyhedra, which are indicative of cancer senescence. In addition, this compound can be used to measure the concentration of plasma mass spectrometers by using electron spin resonance (ESR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The unpaired electrons on the nitro group of the molecule react with oxygen in the air to form polyhedra and give off characteristic signals in ESR and MRI. These signals are proportional to the concentration of unpaired electrons and therefore provide a quantitative measurement of 2-hydroxy-5 nitroacetophenone in solution.
