4-Nitrophenylacetic acid

4-Nitrophenylacetic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitrophenols. It has been shown to inhibit malonic enzyme, also known as 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. This inhibition is thought to be due to the nitro group on the molecule, which reacts with the active site cysteine residue in the enzyme. 4-Nitrophenylacetic acid can be used in the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies. The structure of 4-nitrophenylacetic acid has one hydroxyl group and two nitro groups that are separated by a methylene bridge (a carbon atom with two hydrogen atoms). The reaction solution for this substance contains diazonium salt and hydrochloric acid.
