4-Nitrophenyl acetate, 97%

Description

CAS: 830-03-5 | C8H7NO4 | 181.15 g/mol

4-Nitrophenyl acetate is used with iodoacetic acid for reductive cleavage of methionine-containing peptides. It is also used as a substrate that has been used in assays for esterase and lipase activity. Inorganic complexes have been evaluated for their methanolysis or hydrolysis activity using p-nitrophenyl acetate.

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.
