Application

  • 2-Nitrophenol can be used in the iron-catalyzed synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazole from benzylic alcohols.
  • It is employed in the preparation of heterodiazocines, which are potential photochromic compounds for applications in photopharmacology and functional materials.
  • It can be used as a precursor in synthesizing “off-on” chemosensor for Hg2+ detection in aqueous acetonitrile solution.
  • Additional application includes the synthesis of 1,4-benzoxazine derivative in the total synthesis of antimicrobial agent, levofloxacin.

Physical form

Due to its specific melting range the product may be solid, liquid, a solidified melt or a supercooled melt.

For the first time, an ionic liquid based three-phase liquid-liquid-liquid solvent bar microextraction (IL-LLL-SBME) was developed for the analysis of phenols in seawater samples. The ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF(6)]), was used as the intermediary solvent for LLL-SBME, enhancing the
