General description

2-Methyl-4-nitrophenol is a nitrophenol derivative. The study of its crystal structure reveals the molecule to be nearly planar.[1] Its synthesis has been reported.[2] FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and molecular modeling of 2-methyl-4-nitrophenol have been analyzed.[3] It is reported to be one of the compounds in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) that shows potential vasodilatation activity in rats.[4] Its reduction catalyzed by porous carbon-encapsulated gold nanoparticles has been investigated.[5]

Application

2-Methyl-4-nitrophenol is suitable as a target compound in the study on measurement of methylnitrophenol concentrations and stable isotope ratios in the atmospheric particulate matter[6] and as an internal standard in the determination of monoaromatic nitro compounds in atmospheric aerosols using high performance liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) method.[7]
It may be used as starting material in the synthesis of 2-bromo-4-nitro-6-methylphenol.[8]

    Three monomers, octakis (3-mercaptopropyl) octasilsesquioxane, 1,2,4-trivinylcyclohexane and isophytol were employed to synthesize a novel monolithic stationary phase via photo-initiated thiol-ene click polymerization for reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Several factors such as porogenic system, reaction time and the molar ratio of functional
