2-NITROCINNAMALDEHYDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow to yellow-brown crystals or powder

Uses

It finds its uses as a actinometer for the UV-A range of photostability testing of pharmaceuticals. 2-Nitrocinnamaldehyde can be oxidized to 2-nitrocinnamic acid which can be used in the Baeyer-Emmerling indole synthesis to produce indole and substituted indoles.
