4-Nitrobenzeneethanol

4-Nitrobenzeneethanol is a primary amine that is synthesized from the amino acid L-glutamic acid and the alcohol 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol. It is activated by reaction with sodium hydroxide solution, which releases hydrogen ions. The conjugates of this compound are isomers. 4-Nitrobenzeneethanol can be used to synthesize compounds that have different functional groups, such as monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of parasitic diseases.
