Product Information

• Name: 3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylaldehyde is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aldehydes. It is used in the synthesis of halogenated compounds, such as dibromohexane, and in organic chemistry as a building block for the preparation of hydrophobic compounds. 3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylaldehyde reacts with benzene in an aldol condensation reaction to form 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde. This reaction may be catalyzed by acid or base. The efficiency of this reaction is increased when it is carried out at lower temperatures and higher pressures. The ring-opening reaction of 3-(3-nitrophenyl)acrylaldehyde with methanal also proceeds efficiently at lower temperatures and higher pressures.
