Methyl 4-nitrobenzoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow to yellow fine crystalline powder

Uses

It is employed in the biochemical characterization of NfsA, the Escherichia coli major nitroreductase exhibiting a high amino acid sequence homology to Frp, a Vibrio harveyi flavin oxidoreductase.

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 60, p. 1466, 1995 DOI: 10.1021/jo00110a059

Purification Methods

Dissolve the benzoate in diethyl ether, then wash it with aqueous alkali; the ether is evaporated and the ester is recrystallised from EtOH. [Beilstein 9 H 390, 9 IV 1074.]
