Thermo Scientific™ 4-Nitroanisole 97%

4-Nitroanisole is a nitro-substituted aromatic compound widely used as a precursor in dye and pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the preparation of azo dyes and intermediates for active pharmaceutical ingredients. With a methoxy (-OCH₃) group and a para-positioned nitro group, this compound is highly versatile in electrophilic aromatic substitution, cross-coupling, and reduction reactions.

Supplied at ≥97% purity (HPLC ≥89%), the product appears as a white to light yellow crystalline powder and is stable under ambient storage conditions. Due to its classification as a health hazard, it should be handled with appropriate safety protocols.
