Description
4-Nitrophenyl benzoate is an aromatic ester with empirical formula C₁₃H₉NO₄ and CAS number 959-22-8. It has a molar mass of 243,21 g/mol, a flash point of 183,5 °C and a boiling point of 399,5 °C. The molecule combines a benzoate moiety with a 4-nitrophenyl leaving-group motif and is of interest in organic synthesis, mechanistic studies of ester reactivity and the preparation of nitroaromatic derivatives. Such esters can serve as model substrates or intermediates when exploring acylation chemistry and related transformations. This product is Identity data including CAS, formula and thermal properties support method development, safety assessment and analytical verification. Apply standard laboratory controls for nitroaromatic esters, including appropriate personal protective equipment and consideration of thermal behaviour during heating or concentration steps.

Questions about 4-Nitrophenyl benzoate, 5 g
What is this article?
4-Nitrophenyl benzoate, 5 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
