Product Information

• Name: 2'-Nitroacetophenone
• Synonyms: 1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-ethanone1-Acetyl-2-nitrobenzeneMethyl 2-nitrophenyl ketone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Nitroacetophenone is a chemical compound that is synthesized by the reaction of acetophenone with nitric acid and sulfuric acid in an acidic environment. The optimum conditions for this reaction are at 50°C and pH=1.5-2.0, which leads to the formation of ester hydrochloride. When 2'-nitroacetophenone comes into contact with choline, it binds to form the nitro group on the aromatic ring, which can be photochemically activated to form the nitro group on the benzene ring. This chemical has inhibitory properties against mammalian cells and may be used in cancer therapy. 2'-Nitroacetophenone also reacts with hydrogen gas in a water vapor environment to form hydrogen bonds, which are necessary for asymmetric synthesis reactions involving carbonyl groups.br>br> 2'-Nitroacetophenone is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals such as nitrosoureas and other antic
