3-Nitrophenol is used as indicator in 0.3% Soln in 50% alcohol ph: 6.8 Colorless, 8.6 Yellow. It is used in the synthesis of RAGE inhibitors via the etherification of phenols. Also used in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors against epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutation.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
