Product Information

• Name: Methyl 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate is a photoinduced electron acceptor that can be used to detect the presence of hydroxide ions. It reacts with chlorine and hydroxide ions to produce carbonyl chloride and hydrogen chloride, which react with methylene blue in an exothermic reaction to generate fluorescence. Methyl 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate has been shown to react with nucleophiles such as amines, sulfides and phosphines. This reaction provides kinetic data for the kinetics of transfer reactions.
