General description

4-Amino-3-methylphenol is a metabolite of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol. It is a major metabolite of carcinogenic o-toluidine and causes DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II).

Application

4-Amino-3-methylphenol was used in synthesis of a new type of tweezer-molecule in which a strongly preferred binding conformation is generated by convergent, intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Biotransformation of the environmental pollutant 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP), a newly characterized estrogenic chemical, and the primary breakdown product of the heavily used insecticide fenitrothion was investigated using a common soil fungus. In 96 h, daily culture sacrifice, extraction, and analysis showed

A novel type of tweezer molecule containing electron-rich 2-pyrenyloxy arms has been designed to exploit intramolecular hydrogen bonding in stabilising a preferred conformation for supramolecular complexation to complementary sequences in aromatic copolyimides. This tweezer-conformation is demonstrated by single-crystal X-ray analyses
