Product Information

• Name: 3-Nitrobenzanilide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Nitrobenzanilide is an intermediate in the synthesis of a number of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. It is used as an activated reagent to introduce the benzoyl group by reaction with dimethylformamide. 3-Nitrobenzanilide can be prepared from phenylacetonitrile, benzoyl chloride, and ammonia or from nitrobenzene and sodium cyanide. The nature of the nitro group on the benzene ring determines whether the product is a diazo compound or a carbonyl compound. 3-Nitrobenzanilide has been shown to have plant disease control properties via its ability to inhibit plant enzymes such as acetylcholine esterase.
