(E)-b-Nitrostyrene is a nitro compound that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of teicoplanin. (E)-b-Nitrostyrene is synthesized by the reaction of sodium carbonate with cationic surfactant, which produces an intermediate. This intermediate then undergoes a cycloaddition process with nitric oxide to produce (E)-b-nitrostyrene and water. The redox potentials of this compound are determined using kinetic data. The structural analysis of b-nitrostyrene includes NMR and FTIR spectra, which reveal that it has one asymmetric center. It was found that b-nitrostyrene has apoptotic effects on human macrophages in vitro.
