Description

3-Hydroxy-6-Nitrobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a nitrated and hydroxylated benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical research and analytical method development. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers working in the fields of environmental monitoring, toxicology studies, and organic synthesis.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration and validation of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS) in environmental testing for PAH contamination.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a critical metabolite or model compound in studies investigating the carcinogenicity and metabolic pathways of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives or fluorescent markers due to its functionalized structure.
• Environmental Science: Employed in method development for detecting and quantifying nitro-PAHs in air particulate matter, soil, and water samples.
• Biochemical Studies: Used in research exploring DNA adduct formation and the mechanisms of mutagenesis caused by specific PAH metabolites.
• Material Science Research: Potential precursor for developing specialized organic semiconductors or photonic materials, given its conjugated aromatic system.
