CAS 95111-49-2, Cat. No EN300-7411622
Reagent for aromatic nitration
The molecule is a mild and selective nitration reagent used for mono-nitrating aromatic compounds like naphthols and phenols1. It offers advantages over traditional nitration methods by minimizing oxidation and regioselectivity issues2. The reagent is a bench-stable solid, well-soluble in most organic solvents, which makes it a desirable choice for nitration.
