(E)-2-Nitroethenylbenzene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Yellow crystals

Uses

trans-β-Nitrostyrene, and its derivatives such as 3,4-methylenedioxy-β-nitrostyrene (MNS) and 4-O-benzoyl-3-methoxy-β-nitrostyrene (BMNS), has shown to exhibit potent anti-platelet activities and cytotoxicity.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the styrene from absolute EtOH, or three times from *benzene/pet ether (b 60-80o) (1:1). [Beilstein 5 III 1180, 5 IV 1352.]
