Benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-2-nitro- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitro group (-NO2) at the 4 and 2 positions, respectively. This compound is typically a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and is known for its distinct aromatic odor, reminiscent of almonds. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. The presence of both the hydroxyl and nitro groups contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored for potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and eyes, and potential toxicity if ingested or inhaled.

4-Hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde

4-Hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde is a prodrug that is activated by β-glucuronidase enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. The resulting 4-hydroxy-2-nitrophenol is then converted to 4-nitrophenol, which has antibacterial activity. This linker can be used as an alternative to amoxicillin for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by β-lactamase producing bacteria, such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This linker can also be used for the treatment of biofilm formation and prevention of antibiotic resistance.
