Description

4-Nitrobenzyl bromide is a reactive compound that reacts with the hydroxyl group of phenols to form 4-nitrophenols. It has been shown to react with congestive heart failure (CHF) patients' sera and bind to receptors on the surface of red blood cells, thereby inhibiting their ability to carry oxygen. The reaction mechanism for this process is unclear, but it is thought that it may involve a nucleophilic attack on the double bond in the phenol by a hydroxyl radical. This chemical can also be used as an analytical method for determining organic acids in natural compounds. Monoclonal antibodies are used for this purpose because they are specific for certain organic acids and thus will only react with them.
