Product Information

• Name: 2-Nitroacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Nitroacetic acid is a nitro compound that is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. 2-Nitroacetic acid is primarily used to produce methyl methoxy nitro (MOM) which is a precursor for the production of acrylamide, a chemical that has been classified as carcinogenic to humans. The reaction mechanism for 2-nitroacetic acid involves the formation of methylene active methylene with particle, which then reacts with water to form nitrous acid. This process results in the release of nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride gas. 2-Nitroacetic acid also has an anti-inflammatory effect on several types of inflammatory diseases by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
