CAS 99-77-4: Ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate

Applications ETHYL 4-NITROBENZOATE (cas# 99-77-4) is a useful research chemical.

Ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate is a compound that is used to synthesize other drugs, such as erythromycin. It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of some pesticides and dyes. The second-order rate constant for the reaction of ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate with phosphotungstic acid has been measured at 0.058/min at 25°C. This reaction is catalyzed by recombinant cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes from human liver preparations and cationic surfactants such as nitrobenzene or sodium carbonate, which are known to form hydrogen bonds with the protonated nitrogen atom on the aromatic ring of ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate. Ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate is also used clinically to treat gastric ulcers, although it can be toxic if taken in large doses or over a long period of time.
