2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline is a yellow to orange crystalline powder. 2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline (MONA) is a potential nonlinear optical (NLO) material, the N12–O19 bond length of MONA molecule is essentially controlled by the p-character of these hybrid orbitals and also by the nature of the N12–O19 bond. The molecular geometry of the compound is almost planar with the substituents[1].

Uses

2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline is an important intermediate for preparing organic pigments and color bases of ice dyeing dyestuff. As a benzene dye intermediate, It is generally employed to prepare not only fast pigments but also as a printing and dyeing developer for cotton fabrics. In particular, 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline is also important in production of some antineoplastic drugs[2-3].

Uses

2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline is used as a photometric reagent for the determination of ethinylestradiol (ETE), a semi-synthetic estrogen that is widely used in oral contraceptives.

General Description

2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline is an important inducer of CYP1A2 owing to its small molecular size.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Biochem/physiol Actions

The metabolism of 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline (MNA) occurs via the hydroxylation of the phenyl ring to form 6-hydroxy MNA in Harlan Sprague Dawley rats and B6C3F(1)/N mice.

Solubility in organics

The change trend of the solubility magnitude in different monosolvents from high to low was as follows: N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) > dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) > 1,4-dioxane > ethyl acetate > acetonitrile > ethanol > methanol > n-propanol > isopropanol >  ethylene glycol (EG) > n-butanol > water[2].
