Product Information

• Name: c(R,S)-1-(2-Nitrophenyl)ethanol
• Synonyms: a-Methyl-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol1-(2-Nitrophenyl)ethyl alcohola-Methyl-2-nitro-benzenemethanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Dichloroethane is an organic solvent that has a number of industrial uses. It is also used as an antigen for the detection of antibodies in biological studies. 1,2-Dichloroethane reacts with free amino groups on proteins to form antigen-binding sites. The cavity created by the reaction then binds to the antigen and induces a change in fluorescence. This process can be detected using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Irradiation of 1,2-dichloroethane leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, which can react with aspartyl groups in proteins to form diphosgene. This reaction can lead to protein denaturation and loss of function, which may be responsible for some of the toxic effects observed with this compound.
