Description

Methyl 4-nitrobenzoate is a diazonium salt that is used in the synthesis of other compounds. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that has a weakly acidic character with a pH of 2.5. The reaction between methyl 4-nitrobenzoate and hydrochloric acid produces nitrous acid, water, and methyl benzoate. This compound has significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in vitro. Methyl 4-nitrobenzoate's chemical structures are nitro, methyl group, benzene ring, and oxygen atom. The kinetic data for this compound have been measured by using the kinetic technique. The activation energies for this compound are -2.8 kcal/mol for hydrolysis to benzoic acid and -3.0 kcal/mol for nitration to nitro-. Methyl 4-nitrobenzoate interacts with biological substances through a
