  • Product Details


Para-Nitrophenol (CAS 100-02-7,also called p-nitrophenol or 4-Nitrophenol) is a phenolic compound

that has a nitro group at the opposite position of hydroxyl group on the benzene ring. 4-Nitrophenol shows two polymorphs in the crystalline state. The alpha-form is colorless pillars, unstable at room temperature, and stable toward sunlight. The beta-form is yellow pillars, stable at room temperature, and gradually turns red upon irradiation of sunlight. Usually 4-nitrophenol exists as a mixture of these two forms.


In solution, 4-nitrophenol has a dissociation constant (pKa) of 7.16 at 22 °C. Solution of 4-nitrophenol alone appears colorless or pale yellow, whereas its phenolic salts tend to develop a bright yellow color. This color-changing property makes this compound useful as a pH indicator.can be used as raw material for medicine and dyes.Also used in electronics industry.

Application of 4-Nitrophenol
4-Nitrophenol is an intermediate in the synthesis of paracetamol. It is reduced to 4-aminophenol, then acetylated with acetic anhydride.

4-Nitrophenol is used as the precursor for the preparation of phenetidine and acetophenetidine, indicators, and raw materials for fungicides. Bioaccumulation of this compound rarely occurs.

In peptide synthesis, carboxylate ester derivatives of 4-nitrophenol may serve as activated components for construction of amide moieties.

It is used as a pH indicator, turning from colorless or pale yellow to a bright yellow at pH greater than 6
