General description

3-Nitrophenol (m-nitrophenol) is a nitroaromatic compound. It can be prepared from 3-nitroaniline, via diazotization reaction.
3-Nitrophenol is one of the isomers of mononitrophenol and is mainly used as an intermediate to prepare dyes, pigments, lumber preservatives, photographic chemicals and pesticides. Some of the methods for its degradation are biotransformation, photocatalytic degradation and photooxidation.

Application

3-Nitrophenol may be used in the preparation of 3-aminophenol. It may be employed as a weak acid in capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) method.
