| | 4-Nitrobenzyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powde | | Uses | 4-Nitrobenzenemethanol is a potential building block in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. | | Uses | 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol is used as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen to study the pathway for the catabolism of 4-nitrotoluene by Pseudomonas. | | Definition | ChEBI: 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol is a member of the class of benzyl alcohols that is benzyl alcohol substituted at the para-position by a nitro group. It has a role as a xenobiotic metabolite. It is a member of benzyl alcohols and a C-nitro compound. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 3, p. 652, 1955

Tetrahedron Letters, 19, p. 4985, 1978 | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the alcohol from EtOH and sublime it in vacuo. Purity should be at least 99.5%. Sublimed samples should be stored in the dark over anhydrous CaSO4 (Drierite). If the IR contains OH bands, then the sample should be resublimed before use.
