General description

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride is a yellow crystalline nitrocompound widely used in the field of dye synthesis and cellular imaging.

Application

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize N-phenyl-amino-1,8-naphthalimide based fluorescent chemosensor to detect nitro-antibiotics at ppb level.
  • As a building block to synthesize shape memory polymers due to its ability to undergo Diels-Alder reaction
  • As a fluorochrome substrate for nitrogen reductase for noninvasive hypoxia imaging in cancer detection.
  • As a precursor to synthesize amphiphilic naphthalimide dyes with good color brilliancy.
